Flaming Gorge - Green River Basin Scenic Byway
All-American Road 94 mi in Wyoming.
About the Flaming Gorge - Green River Basin Scenic Byway
A journey along the Flaming Gorge - Green River Basin Scenic Byway rides along high ridges with views of fifty miles or more in any direction. The road touches lightly on the landscape as it rolls, dips, and twists across a dry and impossibly big sky. The windswept land, alongside the emerald water of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir, is a splendid fishing and water recreation resource. Visitors may drive for pleasure across the byway and experience immense blue sky, brilliant white billowing clouds, multi-colored rock, and vast grasslands. This drive passes through the nationally significant Wyoming Basin, a specific physiographic region used by the National Park Service and geographers to organize the country’s landscape as influenced by geography, watersheds, and landforms. Even more striking than the ridges are the deep canyons carved in the landscape by millions of years of erosion by streams and rivers originating in the nearby mountains.

About this page's facts
The line is the Federal Highway Administration's scenic byways layer (HEPGIS, a snapshot of 2022-06-24, a US government work), cut at the state line and simplified for the map; the length is the line's. The designation is the program's own: the national tiers from FHWA's America's Byways roster, the rest from the layer's designation field. Road conditions, closures and seasonal gates change: check the agency's own page and the state's road conditions before you go.
