Took this picture of the Green River going into Jensen, Utah on Hwy 40. In 1776, the Spanish friars Silvestre Vélez de Escalante and Francisco Atanasio Domínguez crossed the river near present-day Jensen, naming it the Rio de San Buenaventura. No one knows for sure who and how it was ever named the Green River. I wish I had more time on my hands to paddle down it someday, but I don't. It just seems to lure you into wanting to exploring it. There's a lot of really cool country in and around this region of NW Colorado and Utah. I've only got to take the time to look deeper in to it a few times over the years and what little I've seen is awesome country. It's so much less crowded over other areas in the mountain states, which makes it kind of nice.
