Flaming Gorge and a LONG drive, May 30th, 2011

We went on a 440 miles (ca. 700 Kilometer) Drive from North Salt Lake to Flaming Gorge though Wyoming  and then back though Vernal and Heber City.  Lincoln really wanted to show my parents Flaming Gorge in East Utah. I had never been there before and Lincoln had not been there since he was a teenager. It was going to be a long drive and we need good weather!

But this is what we woke up to. Snow in the yard on May 30th! We could not believe our eyes!

But we did not worry! We started driving and this are some of the roads we drove on. It just kept going and going for miles on end but the roads were clear of snow!

In Wyoming we saw this. Hundreds of cows in huge fields, fun to see!

But then this happened! We were driving right into a snow storm!

And this is what we saw as part of Flaming Gorge!

Fun family picture!

We drove on the road in this picture. It was so beautiful!

Flaming Gorge Dam. 

It was a beautiful drive with temperatures from 32F (0 C) to 60F (17 C) in one day. We saw a lot of country and places we had never seen before. A wonderful day trip with Mormor and Morfar!
