The mighty Green River, winding its way through Dinosaur National Monument. 🌊🦖
This river begins high in the Wind River Mountains of Wyoming, carves through the dramatic canyons of Utah and Colorado, and eventually joins the Colorado River just above Cataract Canyon—right outside of Moab.
The landscape around it is a geologist’s dream: layers upon layers of time exposed in colorful bands, revealing hundreds of millions of years of Earth’s history. These rocks hold stories of ancient oceans, shifting continents, and the fossils of creatures long gone.
It was along this river in 1869 that John Wesley Powell led his legendary expedition—one-armed, undaunted, and determined to map the uncharted West. His journey through these very canyons marked a turning point in American exploration.
When you’re standing on its banks, you feel it—that deep sense of time, of story, of wonder.
