Two of the SCREE rafts heading downstream through Swallow Canyon

A group of cliff swallow nests made from mud in the river in Swallow Canyon. Many of the nests have birds in them and can be identified by their yellow beaks sticking out.

View looking upstream from a raft on the Green River at the downstream end of Swinging Bridge Canyon, near Flynn Bottom. The eastern end of the Unita Mountains lie in the background. A pump station supplying water to the flooded wetlands of Brown's Park National Wildlife Refuge can be seen on the right near the edge of water.

View looking at a shallow side channel of the Green River in Brown's Park, Colorado. The picture is taken looking downstream from the left bank of the river. In the foreground and on the opposite bank are stands of sandbar willow (Salix exigua). Further beyond, are stands of Fremont cottonwood (Populus fremontii).

View looking downstream at the red sandstone walls of Swallow Canyon. This small canyon is one of two canyons that divide Browns Park into series of intermittent alluvial-meandering and bedrock canyon segments. Unlike Red Canyon and Lodore Canyon, the slope of Swallow Canyon is not controlled by debris flows, and thus does not have any rapids.

A great examples of the crossbeds in the Uinta Formation, a quarzite dating back to the PreCambrian, on a beautiful sunny morning with mist hanging above the river as the sun rises.
