You will see cattle often, sometimes venture out onto the roads. It is open range for much of the drive down 191. A beautiful road that intersects 191 about 10 - 15 miles south of Rock Springs is Firehole Canyon road. Absolutely stunning desert landscape down there leading to the Wyoming side of the Flaming Gorge

Thank you for taking us along. I shared with my truck driver friend, he's been sick, he's 64 yrs old, had to stop driving out west.. I rode with him from Iowa to south of LA to Seattle, maybe we were on this Hwy.. he will love the ride alone. Bet he's in tear at the moment !!! God bless your travels.. WOW ♥️👍😁♥️

That was a very beautiful ride. Really enjoy the scenery and peaceful trip

Enjoyed the drive. I just took 2 weeks and drove to Cali from WA over to Reno thru Donner Pass. I loved the drive from Reno to Ontario, OR thru Winnemucca. The sagebrush was a beautiful green and the wild purple flowers were in full bloom. The weather was challenging to say the least, snow, rain, wind, and hail, I felt like a postal worker!!!

When I would travel from Michigan to Oregon and back in the early 70’s I would stop at a “” hole in the wall” restaurant as I called it in Rock Springs. The owner was an ex Navy cook. In those days your ham was on one plate, your double yolk eggs and hash browns on another. None of the plates, cups or silverware matched. Never been on 191 south or north. Looks like a great road for motorcycle or sports car. Been on 287 from Rawlins to 26 to Dubois then Jackson Hole. Thanks for the trip.

isnt it the bomb?? love this hwy

Up and over Miller Mountain, Wyoming 82901 and then along HY 191-North at high altitude (7,500' - 8.000'?) with the dramatic sky that seems to go on forever (Rock Springs is at 6,388 feet). Great views in all directions and the late spring season has got everything greened up nicely. Once the heat of the summer sweeps in, I betting it will brown out quickly, like here in SoCal. You were fortunate to not have much wind and the rain storms in the distance were awesome. It ain't Montana but sure seems like Big Sky country for sure. You're right to comment on the beauty of this road. These videos are pure art. Reminds me of Edward Abbey's book, "Desert Solitaire", I read while driving the southwest years ago. I toured the Continental Divide from Glacier Park in Montana, Yellowstone to the Tetons in Wyoming, on down to Estes and Colorado National Park in Colorado. From there in Denver to Vegas, across Arizona to the White mountains and then on down to Guaymas Mexico. Back up to Death Valley and on up and over the Sierra Nevada's from Reno to San Francisco. Three months total in the autumn of '77, living out of a car, camping and hiking the national parks with a friend. We would share driving and obviously had times "riding shotgun." Your videos bring back some good memories and I'm now getting a chance to see more of the country. Ride on brother! ================================= en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Desert_Solitaire Desert Solitaire: A Season in the Wilderness by Edward Abbey Based on Abbey's activities as a park ranger at Arches National Monument (now Arches National Park) in the late 1950s, the book is often compared to Henry David Thoreau's Walden and Aldo Leopold's A Sand County Almanac. It is written as a series of vignettes about Abbey's experiences in the Colorado Plateau region of the desert Southwestern United States, ranging from vivid descriptions of the fauna, flora, geology, and human inhabitants of the area, to firsthand accounts of wilderness exploration and river running, to a polemic against development and excessive tourism in the national parks.

I like it....a lot. Wow, what spectacular wide open country and a really cool scenic and smooth flowing road. Want to go camping there !!! Thanks for the ride along, Mr. Mike !

I just retired and moved to 191& Rock Springs. A perfect hub to explore many areas. This is my first winter and I-80 was closed both East and West this past week. Huge amount of truckers were stranded in RS. It was fun listening to their stories as they swamped the restaurants . This road has those huge beautiful Valleys on both sides as you head to the dam. I drive over the dam then back through Green River. Pack the cooler, and take a lap. Already done it 4 times. I love it here!

Wow, absolutely beautiful. Thank you! Two things that did come to mind. 1, would have been really a surprise to drive that at night and pull off for a rest and wake up to those amazing hills and valleys. The 2nd, wouldn't want to be there in a lightning storm.

My grandfather was a pioneer in the area (Brown's Park) near where you are driving. Loved the drive when we were there several years ago. Brown's Park is known as Brown's Hole in history books. It is the high desert valley where Ashley traded beads for furs with the Indians. Thanks for posting, from Texas.

I do enjoy these videos, a way to visit without driving out from Wisconsin.

My friend and I drove this beautiful road in May 2017. Rock Springs to the Flaming Gorge. Then from the Flaming Gorge to Rock Springs. Was snowing on the trip north.

I've ridden "all over" the Rocky Mountain West on motorcycles, back in my day, but missed this road. The view with the camera is just like riding without a fairing except it's a little higher up, makes the video very "in the wind" like, without the wind noise. Beautiful country with the freshness of spring and a lack of fences make this a jewel of a road. Thanks for letting me "ride shotgun".

This is the most beautiful ride! Thanks for taking us along. My husband is working from home while we are on this quarantine lockdown so we watch one of your videos every day while we eat lunch. It’s like being there. Thanks so much for all you share. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I share your definitions of a great western road, which the 191 is. Traffic is much heavier and touristy in the summer, so you have a lot more roadblocks to endure from snails (folks who carry their homes on their back), rubberneckers, and of course cops. But it is a very fine motorcycle road as it is mostly hi-speed sweepers that you can lock in a tighter lean angle than you need and accelerate through and out of them. Also quite fun in a SRT 392 Chally!

Like you said, that's a driver highway. Thanks for the ride along.

Another wonderful ride along. Thanks. Landscape reminded me a lot of Hwy 285 through South Park without the canyons or the traffic and with more curves. I think they should put the "rumble" notification for leaving your lane in passenger cars and pickups. I'm so tired of driving up the canyons along the Front Range, heading into a corner and realizing the oncoming vehicle is part way in my lane. Had it happen in the Black Hills once, but it was a tour bus completely in my lane. I'm sure you encounter this everywhere you drive.

God bless.

What a spectacular road with beautiful views. Riding the mountain tops!

The clouds look awesome! Good reminder of warm spring and summer months when its currently winter.
