Down the Green River

We spent last night in thriving Green River, Utah, and headed out on our little adventure in the morning. The Green does not look like much this time of year - very low flows. The town does have a nice little museum dedicated to the explorers of the Green and Colorado Rivers, most notably John Wesley Powell. We had a great day, taking our time and seeing Canyonlands National Park, Deadhorse Point State Park, and Arches National Park. We were not sure how the roads, etc. would be with the recent snow, but our apprehension was unfounded. The roads were fine, and you get a completely different feel for these magnificent parks coming this time of year. The snow dusting the red rock adds another color and makes for some some breathtaking scenery. And with no other people cluttering up the hotel, roads, and parking lots. Make a note everyone - Four Corners in winter!
