Description
This is a great float trip through Meander Canyon of the Colorado River along Bears Ears National Monument and then through Canyonlands National Park. The segment ends just below the confluence of the Green River at Spanish Bottom on river right. Those who want to enjoy a few days (standard trips are 2-3 days) on the river without any intense whitewater can float down and then pre-arrange a jet boat shuttle back upstream at the end of the trip. Others use this segment as the warm up to Cataract Canyon that can be enjoyed by continuing the float downstream.
