This place was named for the stunning scarlet sandstone cliffs there. The area stretches from the rushing Green River, south and into the state of Utah. This tourist attraction offers boating, camping, fishing, kayaking, and swimming.
More adventurous visitors can river rafting downstream from Flaming Gorge Dam. Get an impressive view of the gorge from the Red Canyon Vista and Visitor Center. Hike the popular Canyon Rim Trail and see the petroglyphs, prehistoric fossils, and colorful rock formations too.
