Ready to go
This would be our last day on the Yampa. A couple of miles below camp, we floated onto the Green River, which was running pretty low. It added a little water to the flow. Not far below this, we stopped to look at some petroglyphs.
The rocks on the Green were quite a bit different from the walls on the Yampa. The Green has more dark sedimentary layers of rock, which can be seen below:

We stopped for lunch, which was crackers and seafood dip (and candy), and worked our way through the end of the canyon. The canyon ends at one end of Split Mountain, where one mountain was split by another upthrusting mountain. The camp here is called Cove Camp, though we would probably call it Dead Sheep, because there was a dead sheep just upstream. Just past the camp the land opened up into a broad, flat valley.
I set up camp on the beach, next to my boat. Dinner was huge steaks, and just about everyone finished their entire steak, which was unexpected, but probably necessary. I went to bed early, and I apparently fell asleep quickly.
