This view is of the Green
River Valley from an overlook along the Turnhole
Bend Trail. Turnhole Bend is a great incised meander
formed by the ongoing downcutting of the Green River
into its ancient floodplain. The river elevation
here is about 450 feet and the ridge line is about
780 feet, a difference of 330 feet (or about 100
meters). Within this elevation range are five
roughly-mappable levels within the cavern system.
