Entering Swallow Canyon of the Green River
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.

Uinta formation on a misty morning
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.

Looking down on camp at Big Pine, Red Canyon.
The photo shows the SCREE Powell 150 expdition camp at Big Pine Campground in Red Canyon of the Green River, Utah. The large green tarp was set up to keep the kitchen area and campers dry. Two very large ponderosa pines are in the center of camp, and surely were witness to the 1869 Powell expedition.

A small tributary adding water and sediment to the Green River, Red Ca
A small tributary adding water and sediment to the Green River, Red CaThis photo displays the contrast between the clear, sediment-starved waters released from a large dam, and the murky, sediment-rich waters of natural tributaries. The tributary is just one of many that gradually re-supply the river with sediment.

Bat call and insect data collection in Red Canyon.
Bat call and insect data collection in Red Canyon.This photo demonstrates the typical set up of the so-called 'bat-and-bug' citizen science data collection platform used on the SCREE - Powell 150 expedition. The UV light attracts bugs to the pool of ethanol, where they land and are preserved for identification, while the touchpad device has an untrasonic microphone to collect bat calls.

Clump of scarlet desert paintbrush at Flaming gorge dam
Clump of scarlet desert paintbrush at Flaming gorge damDesert paintbrush stands out against the yellows and browns of the desert by way of its bright red and fiery coloring. Desert paintbrush is a hemiparasite, and takes some of its water and nutrients from the roots of nearby plants. However, unlike full parasites, desert paintbrush can still photosynthesize to obtain some of its nutrients if needed.
