What's in the photo? A section of the river that winds through a deep, shadowy canyon.When was it taken? April 22, 2018.
The Green River is a 730-mile-long tributary of the Colorado River that runs through Wyoming, Colorado and Utah. The waterway gets its name from the high concentrations of sediments suspended in its deep waters, which give it a green hue. A standout feature in this image is Bowknot Bend , a 7.5-mile-long loop where the river doubles back on itself. At the point where the river runs side by side, the canyon wall has partially crumbled due to erosion on each side, creating a low barrier known as a saddle.
