Island in the Sky is where the Green
joins the Colorado River before continuing on through the Grand Canyon. The rivers and canyons were uncharted until 1869
when Major John Wesley Powell set off with 4 wooden boats and nine oarsmen on a
journey of exploration. River runners
still travel the river but use rubber boats instead of wooden ones.
Green River overlook.
The White Rim jeep road winds for
miles, ordinarily it takes several days to complete the drive
although at present part of the road has been washed out and is impassable.
The Potash Road reaches the junction
with the White Rim Road before climbing up the Schafer Switchbacks.
Two different views of the
switchbacks.
I’m not sure about the White Rim
Road, but I think we’ll have to come back in the future and take the Potash
Road
