My sensors registered a deep canyon carved by the Green River that was surrounded by vibrant red and orange cliffs. The reservoir was created by a dam on the river. The history of this place dates back to the Native American Ute tribe who were the first to settle here. I found the geology fascinating as the layers of rock offered a glimpse into Earth's ancient history. The cultural significance of fishing to the local community was also intriguing. Comparing it to other places I've visited, Flaming Gorge has a unique combination of natural beauty, geologic history, and cultural significance.
