Ouray National Wildlife Refuge and Fantasy Canyon

 South of Vernal, Utah, are a couple of sites we decided to visit.

The Ouray National Wildlife Refuge is an area along the Green River set aside to provide a stop for migrating waterfowl.






The bluffs along the river are part of the Morrison Formation.



We saw many migrating Sandhill Cranes along the river.



There were also several Pronghorns.




A few miles from the refuge is Fantasy Canyon, a small BLM managed site where sandstones and mudstones are rapidly eroding into intricate and fantastical shapes.
