Description

edit

The canyon begins at Bonita Bend[2] in the central part of the National Park. From its head, the canyon follows the meanders of the Green River, immediately west of the White Rim (cliff),[3] in a southerly direction until the canyon reaches the mouth of both itself and the Green River at the river's confluence with the Colorado River in the southeastern area of the National Park.
