Flaming Gorge-Uintas Scenic Byway

Description:

Designated as the state's first National Forest scenic byway in 1988, this route known as 'The Drive Through the Ages' travels through the Ashley National Forest and east of Uinta Mountains, one of the few east-west ranges in the country.

Directions:

The Flaming Gorge-Uintas Scenic Byway is within 2 1/2 hours of Salt Lake City (assuming clear dry roads.) It is only 6 hours from Denver via US Highway 40, which brings you to the southernmost point of the Byway in Vernal, Utah.

The Byway is accessible from Wyoming in the north. It is less than 45 minutes from Interstate 80 at Rock Springs (US 191), Green River (WY 530), or Evanston (WY414), where the Byway starts at its two northernmost points in either Manila or the Utah/Wyoming border on the east side of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
