This trip winds along a stretch of river framed by towering sandstone walls, ancient rock formations, and a landscape rich with desert flora such as prickly pear cactus and cottonwood trees. The Green River corridor has long been a vital watercourse in the arid southwestern United States, with Native American history embedded along its banks.
