1 Green River kayak

We rented kayaks to paddle down the Green River in southern Utah for 8 days; from south of the town of Green River on I70 to the confluence with the Colorado River. The river flows through a beautiful desert canyon for much of the way with access to lots of rocky side canyons for some remote hiking and scrambling. We camped along the way and each day was a mix of mostly mellow paddling on still waters with hiking each day. This is a trip we have been thinking of for a few years now ever since paddling down the Colorado River to the Green River confluence in 2014, and it was worth the wait!
