Floating the Green River

The supervisor to whom we report offered to take us down the Green River from where we are set up at Little Hole Recreation Area to Indian Crossing about 9 miles away.  The river is unbelievably clear and when we floated down it was cloudy, cool (around 80), and breezy.  But it was beautiful and quiet.  

There was one rapid that was pretty fast and reckless called Red River Rapids. Here is a picture of it from a cliff above it.

Then the next day we decided to explore some more and decided to drive to the airport once again.  The airport and the road to it are not exactly to what you may be accustomed.

Just below is a picture looking across the land on the way back to the airport.

OBSERVATION:

When we arrived here, I mentioned to the supervisor that I was surprised at how clean and free of litter the place was.  He told me that's because the rafting season had not started and that the fishermen and women think of this as their own back yard and keep it quite clean.  They are very conscientious about keeping things picked up, after all, some of these people pay $800 for just the fly rod.  He was right, and while the rafters do a fairly good job of picking up after themselves, you do notice an increase in litter.
