4. Green River to Wellington
GREEN RIVER TO WELLINGTON – 92 miles
Just outside of Green River the route heads north along Cottonwood Wash offering pleasant views of the San Rafael Swell to the west. Expect to make up some time along the Green River Cut-Off Road, which will take you west along the Cedar Mountain Recreation Area via a graded gravel road. If time allows, take a detour to the Little Grand Canyon Overlook and the Cleveland – Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry. If you do not plan on camping, nearby Price offers additional lodging opportunities just off-route.

Smith Cabin
Smith Cabin Just to the west of Green River, keep an eye out for some old dilapidated buildings still partially standing along the route. This marks the remote site of Smith Cabin which was built in the 1930’s at the site of a spring (former spring now). A handful of buildings are still visible on the former Smith’s Ranch in the San Rafael Swell. A stop at the site gives visitors a better look at the challenges once faced by people living out on the western frontier generations ago. Make a short stop at the cabin to look around a little, and maybe take some pictures before getting back on the route and once again heading up the UTBDR. Visit Website »
