 The
river that gave the town of Green River its name is the main attraction
of this small town. The river snakes through extremely remote canyons
in central Utah north of the town and through red rock canyons south of
town before merging with the Colorado River in Canyonlands
National Park. From town one can
find some good white water rafting as well as peaceful and beautiful float
trips. The town of Green River is also a good base from which to explore
the starkly beautiful San
Raphael Swell to the west. Of note
in town is the John Wesley Powell Museum, a good small museum about the
explorer.
Green River is located just along I-70 in east central Utah. It is 45 miles northwest of Arches National Park and 60 miles northwest of Canyonlands. Green River has a good selection of motels and plenty of places to eat, as well as other essential services for the traveler.
