Seven Rovers canoed 52 miles on the Green River through Stillwater Canyon in the heart of Canyonlands National Park. The Green River cuts through 1500 feet of colorful sandstone as it meanders its way towards the Grand Canyon. Along the way, we did side hikes through magnificent rock formations and camped along the way.

Annie M. & Jen O. will show you what we saw and what things didn’t go as planned.

Presented by Annie M. and Jen O.
