 Flaming Gorge-Uintas Scenic Byway, also known as the "Drive Through the Ages" for the millions of years of geological strata it climbs through, runs north from Vernal to Flaming Gorge along Hwys 191 and 44. The byway climbs slowly at first through arid foothills north of Vernal and then through colorful rock formations past Steinaker and Red Fleet State Parks. The route then climbs steep switchbacks up into the Uinta Mountains and through its forests of lodgepole pine and aspen. Highway 44 (Flaming Gorge Scenic Byway) intersects Hwy 191 in Flaming Gorge and heads west through heavy forests and some nice views of the gorge. Meanwhile, Hwy 191 turns east and descends quickly through pine forests to the dam. A steep narrow road just past the dam winds down to the river affording views of the dam and the pretty river. Past the dam the road stays with the gorge and past some nice views before ending in the town of Dutch John.
