"San Rafael Swell" Green River by Boulder_Mike
Green River Travel Guide: 31 reviews and 106 photos
The San Rafael Swell west of Green River Utah has wealth of canyon hiking opportunities. If you want to get away from the hustle and bustle of the Moab area, consider spending some time here. There are some very remote canyons in this part of Utah.
Tips:
Bring your own water!!
Prepare to hike (or possibly swim) through standing water in some canyons
Carefully choose your route based on your ability and notify someone where you are going.
Some canyons require ropes and climbing gear to safely traverse them.

There is a 4 wheel drive road around Temple Mountain. It makes for a good mountain bike ride.
Temple mountain is famous for being the site of the Uranium mines used to make the first atomic bombs.
