Straddling Wyoming and Utah, the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area meanders from the high desert of southwest Wyoming to the forested slopes of northeast Utah. Amid this bountiful scenic beauty, you'll want to survey two historic sites and stop in two little border towns for supplies: Swett Historic Site is an early pioneer homestead that interprets the life of a turn-of-the-century Utah ranch family. Ute Tower Historic Site is managed as both a working fire-lookout tower and an interpretive site. The tower-Utah's first and its last still in operation-offers a panoramic view.

Swett Historic Site-six miles south of Flaming Gorge Dam off US Highway 191. One half mile north of US Highway 191/Utah 44 junction, follow Forrest Road 158 1.5 miles to the ranch. Road not paved and not recommended for large RV's and trailers. Ute Tower Historic Site-about 20 miles south of Manila, UT off of Utah 44. Take Sheep Creek Geological Loop to the Hickerson Park Road, FR 221. Follow FR 221 one mile west to FR 5, go 1.5 miles to Ute Tower. Roads paved but not recommended for low clearance vehicles.
