Trip Report

Here's a fine rendering of the Green River Gorge courtesy of Rick Lockamy. The bottom of the picture is half a mile upstream of Fishtop, and looking up points you towards the northwest (or maybe west-northwest, even). Pulliam Creek comes in from the right towards the bottom 1/3 of the frame, and Interstate 26 can be seen as a light grey ribbon in the upper left.

The 'straightaway' you see in the heart of the gorge makes up close to the steepest half mile on the run, is home to the majority of the named rapids, and is where more-or-less the entirety of the Green Race is held each November. Well, truth be told the race starts just around the corner a bit at the top of the straightaway.
