27 Aug 2015 - Craig, CO
We left Driggs ID at 8:00a and arrived at Craig, CO at 6:40p. A 838 km travel day. Nice and sunny when we left, but after the first mountain pass, the eastern slope was full of cloud and fog most of the way into Jackson, WY. A nice canyon run though, but Jackson had a lot of traffic (tourists). Then off To Green River WY, where we picked up the Flaming Gorge highway. The southern end was the most scenic, and we've attached a couple of pics of Red Canyon and the reservoir, along with a canyon desert shot. Nice to see some green, and Ponderosa Pines, Douglas Fir and Cedars. Most of the trip today was desert, so greenery was at a premium. Tomorrow should be shorter day, with about 300km on our schedule, but we will be doing some stops through Rocky Mountains National Park before reaching our destination of Estes Park, CO, with plans to look around the town also that day.
