If you travel north of Rock Springs and take US-191, there鈥檚 a turn-out spot where you are able to visit the and . Both are amazing sights to visit due to the fact of the history of Boars Tusk being the remnants of an old volcano. Both of those are fun places to visit, but if you head south of Green River, you will come across the , a beautiful lake where you can go boating, fishing, cliff jumping, camping, hiking,and so much more. The best time to visit is during the summer and early fall. If you didn鈥檛 get a chance to visit during those times, not to worry; once the Flaming Gorge freezes over, it鈥檚 a great place to go ice fishing in the middle of winter.
If you鈥檙e wanting to get into skiing or snowboarding or just wanting to find a place to go tubing, if you go up to Pinedale, the is the closest ski resort to Rock Springs and is relatively cheap. If you鈥檙e wanting another skiing resort, if you keep driving past Pinedale and make it to Jackson Hole, they have and many other outdoor winter activities! My favorite thing to do while I鈥檓 up in Jackson Hole is driving into the in hopes to see a moose or two and seeing all of the elk in their herds.
