Including some hotels, restaurants, a couple of truck stops and a few brightly colored fruit stands, the town of Green River sits near the intersection of Highway 6, heading northwest to southeast, and Interstate 70, which runs west to east through northern Colorado to Denver and all the way to the East Coast.
The river is fed by snow melt and has a lot of water flowing through it in late April. Green River joins up with the Colorado River south of here in Canyonlands National Park.
