F is for Flaming Gorge

Welcome to the 2015 A to Z Blogging Challenge! Each day for the month of April I will be posting alphabetically from A to Z and my theme is Wyoming.




We've made a couple of trips to Flaming Gorge over the years. We don't go often because it's quite a drive from Cheyenne. But it's on my radar now that Hubby is retired. I can guarantee we will be taking this trip very soon. Flaming Gorge is named for its flaming red rocks and sandstone cliffs. The terrain is breathtaking. There is no place else like Flaming Gorge. It's a great place for boating, camping, hiking and exploring. But Hubby and I go for the fishing. The lake is home to most trout species like lake, rainbow, brown, as well as Kokanee salmon, bass, carp and channel catfish. I'm hoping to hook a trophy fish and see a photo of me with my prize fish on the wall of one of the Flaming Gorge tackle shops.

What's the most beautiful place in nature you've ever seen?

    1. Thanks jaybird. We enjoy fishing when the weather is nice. We have some local fishing spots not far from Cheyenne. People even fish in Sloan's Lake at one of our city parks.

  2. I want to go to Flaming Gorge. I bet if I tell my husband about the great fishing, it will immediately move up the want-to-go-there list.

  3. I came to your blog because of its title. We moved to the Denver area three years ago. I haven't yet been to Wyoming, but I want to go. Your blog makes it even more enticing.
