A trip to Green River encapsulates the complete outdoor experience of camping, fishing, birding rafting and napping under a cottonwood tree, with the added perks of golfing and museum visits thrown into the mix. The region is home to several canyons that can be explored via rafting or hiking, and has a colorful history of drawing explorers and adventurers. The Green River town is a great place to unwind after a long day, and is best enjoyed through the simple pleasures of eating at a local burger joint or admiring the displays at the John Wesley Powell Museum.
