What is Green River?
[[File:Greenutrivermap.png|thumb|right|Map of the Green River [[drainage basin]]]] The '''Green River''' is a [[river]] in the states of [[Wyoming]] and [[Utah]], in the [[United States]]. It is the largest [[tributary]] of the [[Colorado River]], at about 730 miles (1,175 km) long. Its [[headwaters]] are in the west part of Wyoming, in a subrange of the [[Rocky Mountains]] known as the Wind River Range. From there, it flows south, then turns east for a short while, then flows south, west, and south into the [[Reservoir]], formed by Fontenelle Dam, and Flaming Gorge Reservoir, which is formed by the [[Flaming Gorge Dam]]. After it exits the dam, it flows east around the Uinta Mountains, and enters the [[desert]]-like [[Colorado Plateau]]. Here, it flows in a series of deep and spectacular [[canyon]]s. It meets both of its largest tributaries, the White River and the Yampa River, from the east. In Canyonlands [[National monument|National Monument]], it meets the Colorado. Shortly after the two rivers meet, they flow into [[Lake Powell]], formed by [[Glen Canyon Dam]]. == Related pages == *[[Green River Formation]] {{US-geo-stub}} [[Category:Rivers of Utah]]
