Inside the center there are some stuffed animals that are interesting to see!!

The side salads are full of fresh lettuce and veggies. I had the chicken parm, which was basically a giant chicken tender with tomato sauce and mozzarella. We also had the brownie turtle Sunday and the berry pie. Both were generous portions which were a great value for the money. My son thought his burger was pretty good. Service is friendly if sometimes slow--they seem like they are always busy there, as it's probably the best restaurant in the area. They have a full bar! We also had some ice cream from the counter in the store. Very nice servers who gave generous scoops! The ice cream was excellent! Big store attached is great to browse for souvenirs or gear while you wait. I would recommend you make reservations in advance.

If you arrive 15 minutes early, they want $25 to allow you to check in to a room that is ready and waiting even though the room was not the room I reserved. I made the reservation a couple months ago was assured it would be a handicap room with a walk-in shower. I called 4 days ago from the Atlanta airport to confirm it and the room we were assigned was not the room that was discussed! Would recommend nobody ever stay here never make a reservation here. These people are incompetent. Their attitudes are bad terrible place. Never stay here again even though I come here three or four times a year to fish. I'll make sure I stay somewhere else I would stay in Vernal and drive up before I would ever rent a room from these people again.

We were driving down from Yellowstone to Colorado Springs and planes a few hours break/picnic here, we were so shock by the beauty and spend so much time than by the time we were leaving to a 6+ hour drive my girlfriend said "what about if we stay the night...". So we booked in the only available hotel and kept driving around to see a few other natural beauties that otherwise we wouldn't have seeing... Perfect place to spend a day or a weekend enjoying the outdoors, picnic, boat, kayak, take tons of pictures, and of course, drink plenty of good wine!!!

After spending 5 glorious days exploring Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks, I was making…read moremy way back to Salt Lake City, Utah for my return flight home to Florida. Since the drive from Jackson, Wyoming to SLC Airport is almost 5 hours and 300 miles away, I decided to break it up with a pitstop along the way here at Flaming Forge National Recreation Area. I had read and heard good things about Flaming Gorge...being very picturesque...that it peaked my interest to come and see what this place was all about. And like I mentioned it was in almost direct line with my travels back to Salt Lake City. First coming upon the Flaming Gorge area....there's a huge dam built as you make your way south on US 191. At this stage, slow your car down as there's a DAM VISTA (situated on the left hand side of the road) that you turn into and park at a small lot. Here...get out of your car and there's a COOL OVERLOOK that captures views of the entire Flaming Gorge Dam. This area is a nice spot for photos. It sort of reminded me of being at iconic Hoover Dam in Vegas/Arizona. Making your way past and across the Flaming Gorge Dam and bridge, you come upon the Visitors Center. I stopped inside and picked up a souvenir keychain and postcard at the VC though there wasn't much else going on. You do get some ground eye level views of the water and surrounding area but the looks here weren't special. One thing...inside the Visitors Center, you can make an appointment for a tour to walk across the bridge suspended over the dam. This could be a worthwhile opportunity for scenic moments (same at Hoover Dam), but since I was managing my time before my flight home, I couldn't hang around for too long. Now if you continue driving on US 191 towards Manila, Utah...the road eventually turns into Highway 44. Along this Highway 44 for a short distance (few miles)....here's where things GET GOOD! Absolutely stop at RED CANYON! Make a right turn as the sign says and turn into Red Canyon Rec Area and follow the path until the end and park. Get out here and walk to the BEAUTIFUL VISTA AND PANORAMA SPOT highlighting the winding river embedded between the red and green toned rocky landscape! Finally, continuing on Hwy 44 for 28 miles towards Manila, Utah...you'll come upon more grand scenery. I have to mention SHEEP CREEK OVERLOOK!!! As you make your way down the winding countryside road, SLOW DOWN THE CAR and on your LEFT HAND SIDE (it can be missed if you drive too fast), you'll find SHEEP CREEK OVERLOOK. Park and get out of your car and walk up the short hill and you'll discover GLORIOUS AND SPECTACULAR SIGHTS characterizing what Flaming Gorge is all about!! The river water combined with unique colorful and rocky terrain intermingling together made for one of the BEST VIEWPOINTS I can recall IN A LONG TIME! This spot is why I decided to visit Flaming Gorge in the first place! For me...a real humbling moment to gaze into the distance and stop reality for a moment. Eventually, I came upon Manila, Utah. At this small town you can stop for food, gas, supplies, and a gift shop. From here, I continued on my way back to Salt Lake City Airport for my red eye flight home. For anyone interested in discovering Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area, I hope my itinerary finds you well. Although there's so much beautiful topography in Utah and Wyoming, this area right on the border of both states deserves more attention and recognition.

They have hammock sites (where you could just set up hammocks to sleep in outside), teepees, RV sites, tent sites. Pretty much anything you could want. We went during the week and there was plenty of camping sites available. Though if it was full you would be right on top of your neighbors. Thankfully for us there was hardly anyone there. The camping area is not too far from the boat ramp. So it was easy to take our paddleboards and kayaks down and then drive back up and hit the water. The views here are so lovely. Really so unique. The reds and whites in the mountains and seeing all the rock layers. Make playing in the water pretty awesome. During the day there seemed to be a lot of users. Not as much as some of teh local lakes to me in Colorado but still busy. If you are wanting to rent a watercraft you would want to get there sooner rather than later. Not sure how their rental policy is working now as we brought our own kayaks and paddleboards this time. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. It was calm and peaceful and relaxing. Would definitely come back.

They could use some finish work in the bathroom where a new shower rod was installed, but I'll take that over dirty sheets or bathtub. My only real complain with this hotel is the size of the pool.

I'd love to see the hotel have a larger pool and hot tub, if it did this would be our go to hotel in Vernal. Because of this, we'll probably try a few other places in the future when we visit. Friendly, helpful staff was the icing on the cake of an already great value hotel.
