Red Cloud Loop

Labor Day weekend, we had

my mom, brother,

two sisters and their families come visit.

There are lots of driving tours here in Vernal,

so we decided to check out the Red Cloud Loop driving tour.

It was a 74 mile drive

that took us past Steinaker and Red Fleet Resevoir

through the Ashley National Forest

past Dry Fork Canyon

and back into Vernal.

It was quite an adventure

and we stopped where and when we wanted to

to see everything.

We stopped at a resevoir halfway through

for a picnic lunch.

Here's Porter attempting to touch

a huge praying mantis we met on the way.
