Green River · Utah
Desolation Canyon
Here the cliffs keep the centuries, and the river gives us back the hours.
THE PLACE
Here the cliffs keep the centuries, and the river gives us back the hours.
The name gives a poor account of the place. There is water, rock, weather, and a great deal to look at if the eye is allowed to settle. Along the Green, the canyon unfolds bend by bend, with none of the urgency its visitors carried to the put-in.
