Labyrinth Canyon Wilderness
The Labyrinth Canyon is rimmed with towering spires and colorful sandstone walls of the Green River carving ever deeper as it progresses southward. Side canyons, arches and goosenecks provide astounding scenery. One of the best ways to experience the Labyrinth Canyon Wilderness is on a trip through Labyrinth Canyon on the lower Green River. It is an easy three-day flat-water stretch suitable for canoes, kayaks, and rafts of all types. The Wilderness also provides opportunities for hiking in side canyons and along plateaus.
