It's hard to travel anywhere in the desert southwest without bumping into notable attractions, and it would be a shame to drive right past without stopping.

My friend John planned a southern route for our return to California; the route would allow us to explore new territory and take in some sights.

You can click on any of the following links to visit the individual pages, or you can click "Next Page" to browse the pages in sequential order. I have included a few interesting internet links for these attractions on the individual pages and on the main Green River Trip Page.
