"an impressive view of the Yampa River (top) and the appropriately named Green River (center) at Steamboat Rock in Echo Park Utah/Colorado. It was taken from Harpers Corner near the Dinosaur National Monument. A short distance below Echo Park, the Green River loops around Steamboat Rock, crosses the Mitten Park fault, and empties into Whirlpool Canyon, a huge gorge spanning 1.5 miles (2.4 km) – it’s approximately 2,500 feet (762 m) deep."
