Great small Town - 11/14/2022
I have lived in this city for 11 years at this point, and I love it. The beautiful Uinta mountains are just a hop skip and a jump away, and the people are great. This town is a great place to raise a family, and while there is Mormonism it's a drop in the bucket compared to the glory of nature surrounding us.

The cost of food and gas is more than other places in nearby Colorado, and Utah. If you want any competitive prices on household goods you have to drive at least two

The nearest good sized city is 2 hrs drive. Vernal really has nothing to offer- not even a mall. If you like shooting things, riding ATVs, joining religious cults, and shopping at WalMart, then you will love
