Green River

I love seeing the transition from the browns and tans of the Great Basin to the red rocks of the Colorado Plateau. It happens rather suddenly as you travel through Utah.

Our lunch stop took us to a shady riverside spot in the town of Green River. Nice on a hot day. It would be cool to float down this river all the way to Lake Powell. I've tried rafting before, though. It's not really for me.

FYI: This is not the same place Creedence Clearwater Revival sang about.
