Today’s ride, Jones Hole National Fish Hatchery
The Hatchery is NW of Vernal. Go out 500 N, past the dump, cross Brush Creek and up an over Diamond Mt. You top out at 7,400’ and drop to the canyon floor at 5,500’. Lots of history from ancient Fremont Indians to Butch and the Wild Bunch.
Lots of PJ pinion and juniper
Just off the left side of this photo would be where hey 191 comes down the switchbacks to Vernal
Start of the canyons
The Hatchery is in the bottom. The green river is just beyond the tallest peak.
Already trying to swim upstream
Diamond Mt plateau
On the “rim” looking south . You can see a little of Vernal,UT in the top right
Looking west from the Diamond Mt rim towards Red Fleet reservoir
