Day 3 mirror reflections of landscape on water

The yellow raft of SCREE expedition leader, Tom Minckley, floating through calm waters of Browns Park National Wildlife Refuge, Colorado. The far bank in the midground of the photo are the exposed sediments of the pre-dam floodplain of the Green River. The layers of rock in the background are the exposed layers of the red Uinta Mountain Group quartzite.

A view looking down on the river from the hills above camp. View is upstream and shows a nice river meander with a point bar and scenic hills in the background. This is in Brown's Park.

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 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.
