ダゲット郡周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

If you're not staying at Firefighters Memorial Campground across the street, people often park at the side of the road to access this trail that, despite its name, leads to a nice overlook of Lake Flaming Gorge. Along the way, watch for wildlife and for wildflowers in season. This trail is also popular for cross-country skiing.

The trail to get here is easy and relatively short (about three miles round-trip) if you park across the street from the Firefighters Memorial Campground. For your efforts, you get a beautiful, sort of side-on view of the Green River as it flows through Red Canyon, a part of Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area.

This viewpoint, just a short walk outside Canyon Rim Campground, offers impressive lookouts down into Red Canyon, with the Flaming Gorge Reservior, created from the Green River, in its depths. If you're up for hiking a couple miles northwest, the views get even better.

Whether you're coming from the visitor center to the northwest, or staying at the Canyon Rim Campground to the southeast, this is one of several particularly great viewpoints along the Canyon Rim Trail.

This visitor center is a great place to get oriented to Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area. You can also enjoy spectacular views into 1,400-foot deep Red Canyon just a short walk to the north, or southeast along the Canyon Rim Trail.

Red Canyon is some 700 feet wide and 1,400 deep, and you get amazing views of it from this lookout point, as well as spots along the trail as you approach. The water at the bottom is Flaming Gorge Reservoir.
