    The Ashley National Forest
    Ashley National Forest encompasses about a million and a half acres in northeastern Utah and southwestern Wyoming. The Forest lies in three geographical areas: the eastwest range of the Uinta Mountains the Green River Basin and the Tavaputs Plateau. Elevations range from 6000 feet to 13528 feet.

    Steep canyons high mountain peaks glaciated basins large open meadows and desert badlands produce a rich diversity of vegetation and wildlife. The grasses and shrubs of the high mountain desert are replaced by pinyon and juniper as the elevation rises. In midelevation areas aspen dominates and becomes mixed with conifer. Higher up the vegetation changes to conifer forest composed of ponderosa pine lodgepole pine fir and spruce. Wildlife is abundant. Larger species include black bear mountain lion moose elk mule deer pronghorn mountain goats and bighorn sheep.
    Neighboring lands include the Uinta and Ouray Indian Reservation to the south the UintaWasatchCache National Forest to the west and north and a mixture of Bureau of Land Management State of Utah and private lands to the east and southeast. Compared with other National Forests relatively few small tracts of private land lie within the Ashleys boundary.

    The High Uintas Wilderness established by Congress in 1984 comprises nearly onehalf million acres in the UintaWasatchCache and Ashley National Forests. Within the wilderness elevations range from 8000 feet to 13582 feet at the top of Kings Peak the highest mountain in Utah. The Uinta Mountain range runs east to west from the Wasatch Mountains into Colorado. PreCambrian rock formed from sediments laid down 600 million years ago makes up the core of the range. Glacial activity carved deep canyons and left a spectacular landscape of rolling treeless peaks and stratified ridges interspersed with broad meadows and numerous lakes.

    The Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area lies in the northeast part of the Forest. Flaming Gorge Reservoir extends almost 90 miles into Wyoming and offers outstanding fishing and boating opportunities. Recordbreaking German brown trout and large lake and rainbow trout have been taken from its waters. The Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area has three marinas and many campgrounds some of which are open yearround.

    The Green River below Flaming Gorge Dam is a worldfamous blueribbon trout stream. The Little Hole National Recreation Trail parallels the river 7.3 miles from the Dam to the Little Hole Recreation Complex.
