Description
The Green River Scenic Drive is a dirt road that follows the Green River for 9 miles through the southern end of Gray Canyon. The route has good scenery of the canyon walls and the river pushing through. The road is rough and bumpy so you'll need to drive slowly. There is a pleasant picnic area 10 miles north of Green River at Swasey Beach at the mouth of the canyon.
