Southwest Wyoming and Utah were very interesting, we saw many great sights, for example we saw Flaming Gorge Dam and what was cool about that was there was red rock and sand caused by iron. We got to see a video on how the dam was built: it took five years and it was very dangerous to build, here is a link to more info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flaming_Gorge_Dam.
Before we got to Flaming Gorge, we stayed in a hotel named Little America it was an awesome place our room was great, the only bad thing… NO WIFI!!!!!!!! I was freaking out, but eventually we figured out there was at least two bars of wi-fi most of the time so it wasn’t so bad. What made it better was there was a pool and a playground as well as $0.75 soft serve ice cream.
On the way, there we saw runaway truck ramp for if trucks were going too fast or if their brakes did not work, that was something I had never seen before. When we finally got to Flaming Gorge, we went on a hike it was soooooo hot approximately ninety degrees we made it 2 ½ miles but eventually ended up pouring gallons of water on ourselves. We made it and kept driving till we got to the rental where we would be staying for 5 days.
Our next destination! Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks

I hope you get to see lots of pronghorn antelope in Wyoming as you drive. Also listen for birdsong. All the little bushes are filled with small flowers. Wyoming is known for wildflowers so maybe you’ll get to see some in bloom.
