Green River Travel Guide

 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... 

 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. 

 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... 

 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... 

 atufft Says:  The race from New York to Paris by automobile passed through Green River, and there are numerous collectible pieces as evidence from this period during the first decade of the 20th century. 

 atufft Says:  The Mormans and Oregon Trail pioneers originally traveled through the northern corner of Sweetwater County, over the famous South Pass, where the uphill climb is so gradual and wide that pioneers pulling wagons could only discern the continental divide by the evidence of... 

 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:  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:  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:  It must sound silly, but I love those State signs. Now I can say : `Another state I have been to`. This is stupid of course because we just drove through a tiny little bit of Colorado, along the Utah border.
