Description
Flaming Gorge Scenic Byway (Hwy. 44) starts at Hwy. 191 south of the gorge and runs 28 miles around the southwestern corner of Flaming Gorge to the town of Manilla. Most of the route is through attractive pine and aspen forests and open meadows away from the gorge, but there are some great views of Sheep Creek Bay and other parts of the gorge. You should plan on stopping at the Red Canyon Visitor Center and/or Dowd Mountain Overlook for their superb views. The total distance, including both spur roads, is 40 miles. Plan on spending about 2-3 hours.
