Sunrise to Sunset Hikers

The Green River is particularly suited for newcomers to river camping and to groups who desire a very laid back pace. This Utah canoe trip is an unforgettable odyssey! This spectacular 68-mile section of the Green River, from Crystal Geyser, winds towards Mineral Bottom, just north of Canyonlands National Park. Experience the same trip the Powell Expedition did in 1869. Hike and explore the canyons, see Anasazi Indian ruins, Between the town of Green River, Utah, and Canyonlands National Park is part of the longest stretch of quiet wilderness water in the lower 48 states. As you canoe the Green River, the moving panorama is incomparable. The twisting, looping river winds its way between sheer, colorful sandstone walls, hundreds of feet high. Vast canyon systems and water channels branch in all directions, inviting hiking and exploring, as well as providing excellent camping.
