Exploring the Beauty of the Flaming Gorge
Nestled in the heart of south-western Wyoming lies a hidden gem that is a must-visit for any outdoor enthusiast - the Flaming Gorge. This picturesque reservoir is surrounded by rugged canyons and offers visitors a wide range of outdoor activities, making it the perfect destination for your first visit to Rock Springs.
Boating and Fishing Paradise
With over 91 miles of shoreline and crystal clear waters, the Flaming Gorge is a popular destination for boaters and fishermen alike. The serene beauty of the canyon walls and the abundant wildlife will leave you in awe as you cruise along the reservoir. And for those who love fishing, the Flaming Gorge is renowned for its trophy-sized trout, making it a prime spot for all levels of anglers.
Hiking and Scenic Trails
For those who prefer to explore on foot, the Flaming Gorge has some of the most breathtaking hiking trails in the region. From easy, family-friendly walks to more challenging treks, there is something for everyone. The Red Canyon Rim Trail offers stunning views of the gorge, while the Little Hole National Trail System takes you through lush forests and alongside the Green River. Make sure to pack a camera to capture the unforgettable views along the way.
Wildlife Viewing and Camping
The Flaming Gorge is also a haven for wildlife, with bighorn sheep, mule deer, and bald eagles being common sights for visitors. In fact, the Canyon Rim Campground is a popular spot for eagle watching during the winter months. And speaking of camping, with several campgrounds and RV parks scattered around the gorge, you can enjoy the great outdoors and experience the peacefulness of nature all around you.

The Flaming Gorge is a year-round attraction, with each season offering its own unique activities and experiences. During the summer, the water temperature is perfect for swimming, and the warm weather is ideal for sunbathing on the beaches. In the fall, the changing colors of the surrounding trees make for a picturesque backdrop for hiking and camping. And in the winter, the Flaming Gorge is a popular spot for snowmobiling and cross-country skiing. No matter when you visit, there's always something to do at the Flaming Gorge.
