Headwaters of the
Green River
Wind River Range
Pinedale,
Wyoming USA
The Green River Lakes
are nestled behind a
natural terminal-moraine
dam scoured out by glacial
action and surrounded
by the stark, cold, steep
topography of the
Wind River Range.
Mostly composed of granite
uplifts from deep within
the earth over
1 billion years ago,
these granite monoliths were
uplifted and carved by glaciers
500,000 years ago to form
circular valley cirques.
The Wind River Range is not
only one of the oldest mountain ranges
in North America, but has the
most extensive glacial network
in the lower 48 states.
Elevations range from 8,000 feet
at Green River Lakes to 13,804 feet
at Gannett Peak, the
tallest mountain in
he middle Rocky Mountains.
The Green River Lakes are
considered the headwaters
of the Green River;
the chief tributary
to the Colorado River.
The Green River runs 730 miles
through Wyoming, Utah, Colorado,
and eventually terminates
in northern Mexico.
The Green River Lakes are also
the starting point for many backpacking
trails including the northern entrance
to the frequently used Highline Trail,
which extends along most of the
Wind River Range and follows
the spine of the Continental
Divide south to Big Sandy Opening.
Directions:
Located in the Bridger Wilderness
of the Bridger-Teton National Forest,
the lakes are 52 miles north of
Pinedale and approximately 120 miles
southeast of the Tetons.
Traveling northwest from Pinedale,
take US Highway 191 north
for about six miles,
turn north (right) onto
State Highway 352 at the Cora turnoff.
Once past Cora, the last 23 miles
are a rough dirt road maintained
by the Forest Service.
During the summer, it is suitable for
most cars, but slow speeds are
necessary, so plan on a leisurely pace.

Ep. 95: Green River Kayak Camping | Utah kayaking Canyonlands National Park
A voyage down the final 100 miles of the Green River by kayak, canoe or raft, through the Labyrinth Canyon and Stillwater Canyon into Utah's Canyonlands National Park, is an epic bucket list camping trip. It's also the only way to see this part of Canyonlands. We spend eight days on the river, encountering other river travelers from four other states and two other countries along the way. We find remnants of ancient people dating from 200 to 1,200 years old, including the Outlaw Cabin and Anasazi cliff dwellings. We descend through numerous layers of the earth’s crust, passing through two seasons. Throughout it all, though, the river is our constant, yet moody companion; at times our lover and best friend, and at other times our worst enemy, the river is alive -- a living, breathing creature that dominates our lives for days on end.
FOR MORE INFORMATION
Separate river permits are required from the BLM for Labyrinth Canyon, and from Canyonlands National Park for Stillwater Canyon. The Labyrinth Canyon permit requires little more than filling out a form and carrying the required gear, while the permit for Stillwater Canyon requires a bit more arduous and bureaucratic process and while there’s no lottery involved, permits are limited by the number of people who can be shuttled by outfitters from The Confluence or Spanish Bottom. Ruby Ranch’s owners also charge a fee for those who choose to launch their boats there, although there are alternative put-ins at Crystal Geyser and in the town of Green River.
Applications and more information may be found at:
* BLM Labyrinth Canyon
* Canyonlands National Park river permits
Two outfitters are permitted to provide shuttle services from Spanish Bottom to Moab and also provide guided expeditions:
* Tag-A-Long Expeditions
* Tex’s Riverways

Powell Expedition 150th Anniversary Green River, WY May 24th 2019
To celebrate the Sesquicentennial of John Wesley Powell’s first expedition, a group led by Professor Thomas Minckley is floating the same route explored by Powell and his crew in 1869.
To monitor their whereabouts, visit the link below from which some of the following text was sourced:
On May 24th, 1869, the ten men of the Colorado River Exploring Expedition stood at the banks of the Green River in Wyoming prepared to enter into a region of the United States known only as “unexplored territory.” The expedition was to enter into the “Great Unknown,” take scientific measurements, chart the region, and effectively complete our nation’s maps. To John Wesley Powell, unexplored territory was unacceptable and unknowns were opportunities for greater understanding. Powell and his crew traveled over 900 miles from Green River, Wyoming to the mouth of the Virgin River, in present-day Lake Mead, through a wild, largely uninhabited system of river canyons. The West was a new and final frontier, ripe for development and lacking only a system for the manipulation of the Colorado River’s water, a subject Powell addressed in his “Report on the Lands of the Arid Region of the United States”. By erasing empty space and, in turn, leaving only defined place, Powell’s journey fueled a western migration that continues today.
The unexplored territory of 1869 through which the Colorado River Exploring Expedition was the first to travel in a continuous, deliberate progression continues to be explored by adventurous boatmen and boatwomen. Powell’s unknown has become a highly visited, studied and managed environment encompassing five states, two U.S. Forest Service units, three Bureau of Land Management field offices, three U.S. Bureau of Reclamation reservoirs, two U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service refuges, and five Nation Park Service units The Colorado River Basin also continues to support indigenous groups in five Native American reservations.
In many ways, experiences similar to those of the Colorado River Exploring Expedition are available through the stewardship of public land management agencies. However, our perception of place and the resulting relationship to the environment of the arid West are easily distinguished from Powell’s time. The Colorado River Exploring Expedition embarked from Green River, Wyoming armed with “two sextants, four chronometers, a number of barometers, thermometers, compasses, and other instruments” (Powell 1875, pg. 8) and began a process of complete geographic, geologic, and topographic surveys of the American West. The linear progression of the systematic and methodological utilization of water resources— a process commenced by Powell’s surveys of the arid region of the United States—has led to a contemporary Great Unknown, one in which we have inherited a system of management built upon incomplete scientific knowledge and techniques better applied in more humid regions. This system has begun to show weaknesses and has forced reactive management as pressures increase from climatic uncertainties, increased populations, compact obligations for water allocations, and most recently a move to privatize 640 million acres of public lands. Today, nearly 150 years after Powell, a methodological lineage exists between his systematic inquiry into the unexplored territory of the arid West and the complex plumbing of the modern Colorado River system that supports over 40 million Americans through storage reservoirs, irrigation, and transbasin diversions.
The 150th anniversary of the Colorado River Exploring Expedition offers an opportunity to once again begin a systematic and deliberate expedition into the unexplored territory of Western economies, politics, and ideologies as they relate to the water resources of the Colorado River Basin. Powell was able to travel through a continuous, natural riparian ecosystem. This experience is no longer possible, as the system is now separated into two basins, with three major dams, 15 management areas, and over 20 significant laws governing the allocation of Colorado River water. Because of these major differences, this expedition is not a reenactment of the past, but rather a re-envisioning of our future that engages traditional, historic, and contemporary river ecosystem perspectives to derive proactive management strategies, integrating community values, science, and humanities through an analysis of culture, informed management, and traditional ecological knowledge.

Canoeing The Green River - Into Labyrinth Canyon
September 23rd - 28th, 2009. Canoeing The Green River in southeastern Utah. Once you've traveled this 120-mile stretch you'll remember it as ever-deepening canyons of whites and greys and yellows and browns, tastefully accented with just enough red buttes, mesas, and spires to be visually exciting. This video shows the first 52-mile stretch through Labyrinth Canyon. It's the longest smooth-water piece of the Green River, although shallow riffles and small waves show up at certain river levels in the first 20 miles below the town of Green River and the last 2 miles before Mineral Bottom.
