Geology and Archaeology on the Green River

Paddle a 60-mile section of the Green River, from Crystal Geyser to Mineral Bottom, just north of Canyonlands National Park, with Museum archaeologist Michele Koons. This is one of the longest stretches of quiet wilderness water in the lower 48 states. The twisting, looping river cuts through colorful red rock canyon walls hundreds of feet high. You’ll enjoy hiking and exploring this beautiful area, where you’ll see ancient Fremont Indian petroglyphs etched in the canyon walls and experience Western history in an area first documented by John Wesley Powell in 1869.

$670 adult, $640 child (6–12 years)
