Adobe Town

Reviewed By mmikko - Joensuu, Finland

Well worth to visit, so quiet and just great views. Quite hard to get, roads are rough. The roads are very bas condition. Gravel roads, or paths, lot of pot holes, path is badly rutted. Drivable by 4x4 and enough clearance. If roads are dry it is possible get through, but if they are mud it will be difficult. Take enough time and get out at day light - so you can see hazards at road. Easies way to drive is from I-80. On I-80 take the Bitter Creek Exit (Exit 142) and follow County Road 19 (S) south, road turns to gravel, bearing left at the junction with County Road 24. Around 27 miles from I-80 pass the Eversole Ranch. Bear left at a minor junction at the Eversole Ranch. 1.8 miles south of the ranch CR-19 bears right. Here, bear left and leave CR-19 on a wide, well-graded, and unnamed BLM road (BLM 4412 on some maps). 3.4 miles on reach an unsigned T Junction. Staying straight will take you towards the Skull Creek Rim Access Road and eventually Colorado. Take a left for the Adobe Creek Rim.

White Mountain Petroglyphs

These incised petroglyphs were carved by the ancestors of present Plains and Great Basin Native American People. They include drawings of elk, buffalo, horses, teepes and several kinds of human figures.

Pilot Butte Wild Horse Scenic Loop

Reviewed By Mareedratt - Kent, United States

Definitely would recommend! This is a beautiful drive, lots of scenic vistas. We did see some horses but the views made the drive worth it. It’s a very rocky start from Rock Springs but it levels out about halfway through. We took our Ford Escape but saw people with sedans and that would be fine. If you have dry weather, four-wheel-drive is not necessary... it’s just a really rough ride.

4. Flaming Gorge

Flaming Gorge

Reviewed By mountainswans - Westcliffe, United States

This place is beyond incredible - the views amazing and be sure to take the Sheep Creek Geological road! Will have to return because with all the smoke from the fires nationwide I am sure it is even more amazing!
