Description
English: (1 in a multiple picture album)

Eons ago, tremendous geologic upheavals formed a giant dome of rock - a "swell" in the earth's surface. That was how this area came to be known as San Rafael Swell.
The harsh elements beat against this dome and eroded it into a wild, broken array of multi-colored sandstone. Wind and water carved this jumble of rock into incredible formations as buttes, canyons, pinnacles and mesas emerged, making the Swell one of the most ruggedly beautiful pockets of terrain in the world.
Here one is about to exit the Swell and the curving road dives down a thousand feet to the flat desert of central Utah. At the bottom is the town of Green River, where almost everyone stops for a break.

This stretch of road is quite a ride and one of my favorites.
