How Do You Find The Source Of The Green River In Wyoming?
The Green River in Wyoming flows into Utah and combines with the Colorado River–both are responsible for the Grand Canyon of Arizona.

While the Green slices through much of western Wyoming, its source can be found among the alpine lakes at the northern edge of the Wind River Mountain Range. Two primary lakes are the lower and upper, as well as some much smaller lakes scattered about the high country. Several trailheads begin at the lakes as well, including one that ends at Wyoming’s tallest peak: Gannett, well over 14,000 feet high. Locate Pinedale on the map of Wyoming. A few miles past Pinedale, off U.S. Highway 191, is Cora Junction and State Highway 352. Take the Green River Lakes Road (352) north, and follow the directional signs to the lakes.
