Green River, Utah...Canoe

[Explorer 1]

Recently did a section of the Green River starting at the Flaming Gorge Dam down to Split Mountain with a side trip down the Yampa River from Deer Lodge to Echo Park.

Here is clip of video of us taking on Red Creek Rapids on the Green River.

Videos never quite capture the speed or scale of the danger.
I can appreciate the skill it takes to navigate those kinds of rapids in an open boat.
Thanks for sharing.

This trip wasn't all rapids there were some quiet parts on the river too:
