Latest Green River hotel reviews
atufft Says: When I was a child, my dad took the family on a car trip to Yellowstone NP. It was July and yet a snow storm came, and the family quickly grew weary of trying to stay warm in a tent. So, we packed up and headed south to Flaming Gorge where I recall one of the best summer...
atufft Says: There's a pioneer memorial near the Green River downtown park.
Union Pacific Rail Depot and Yard
atufft Says: The Green River rail yard is still very much functional, and unfortunately, the old railroad passenger terminal is still being occupied by the Union Pacific Offices. I was told at the museum that old marble floors were layered over with concrete during an effort to make the...
Older Residences of Green River
atufft Says: There are a few interesting homes in Green River, but most interesting is the setting in which they are found. Check out these examples.
Old Commercial Buildings in Green River
atufft Says: Green River doesn't have the substantial collection of old architecture found in some other Wyoming towns, but there are a few exotic examples worth seeing.
atufft Says: Near Expedition Island, but on the mainland, is the locally favorite Evers Park. There's plenty of picniking tables and lawn space, children's climbing equipment, and a great summer water attraction for the kids. Nearby, the railroad contributed an old caboose that children...
atufft Says: There is a walk way, or bicycle trail that travels along the river which can be easily taken within an hour. I started at Expedition Island and stopped at an overpass where I returned to the truck, the map shows that Green River has a considerable acreage of park land and...
atufft Says: The actual launch site for John Wesley Powell's adventure, that eventually resulted in his navigating the Grand Canyon, began at Expedition Island on the Green River. The site has been faithfully preserved as a park and there are bridges reaching the island from either bank...
Sweetwater County Museum: Powell Statue
atufft Says: The Sweetwater County Museum is easy to find on Flaming Gorge Street, the main avenue in town. A larger than lifesize statue of John Wesley Powell stands out front of the former Green River Post Office. The building itself has been faithfully restored to retain the stone...
geminisusie Says: I enjoy eating in this diner. The food is fairly good, and they have really good milkshakes as well. It has a fun atmosphere, and it's always open!
Pedestrian Bridge Over the Rail Yard
atufft Says: The Union Pacific Rail Yard divides the city into two, and the main way that locals on foot get between downtown and the Expedition Island and Evers Parks is by the steel bridge.
atufft Says: When traveling from the east on I-80, take the business 80 exit into town and you will soon find an overpass for the railroad tracks. This is very high and wide and is a great place to park the RV for the day or night. I parked my semi- and trailer for a couple of hours. To...
sim1 Says: You have to drive careful on some roads. There are cattlegrids on the roads and signs that warn you for cattle on the road. The signs don`t say when the cows will be there, it can take 20 kilometers before you see them, they can be just around the corner. I love the little...
atufft Says: The city has a time capsule at a downtown city park. The park also has some children's play equipment, a band stand, and some well tended wild flowers. This park is located just west of the museum on Flaming Gorge Rd.
1966 Simone with a nice car...
sim1 Says: 1966 Simone with a nice car..... hahaha, that is not the year and the name of the car, that`s me :-) There were also 40 local cars on display. Don`t know which type this is, but wouldn`t mind taking it for a spin.
sim1 Says: This was my story about my visit to Monument Valley. I hoped you enjoyed reading it! This page is part of my roundtrip through the USA. We made an awesome trip through the Western part of the USA. Take a look at my USA page to read about the rest of this roundtrip. I...
sim1 Says: This was one of the old cars I saw at the Great Race. It is a 1910 Selden Raceabout. I got some help with identifying these cars as I had no clue about the names of these cars myself. I just love to watch them, that's good enough for me :-)
sim1 Says: Another classic car is this 1937 Buick Indy Racer. It was fun to see these old cars actually driving instead of just seeing them in some museum. I guess that is why I enjoyed looking at the Great race so much.
sim1 Says: Driving all the way from Moab and Arches National Park towards Yellowstone national Park is an awfully long drive. That's why we made this overnight stop in Green River. It isn't a place I would normally visit I guess. But the Great Race was a pleasant surprise.The drive was...
sim1 Says: Another old car on the side of the road. I never realized how many pictures I have taken from these cars until now. They are almost on every other page of this roundtrip.

This was taken last Thursday when I was in Green River, Wyoming. I haven't much to add about this city other than the fact that it is very far away from anything and was a rest stop for me on my very...
