We would not want the white water trip but no greater than a rated two. What are rates for guided trip?

So keep your camera ready and don't hurry. Highway 24 joins the I-70 at a place called Green River. You will still be about an hour's drive from Moab, the local metropole and the so-called "Gateway to Arches and Canyonlands". However, unless you have a particular reason for going to Moab, don't. Considerably smaller than Moab, Green River has a wide selection of motels and four or five restaurants. On average, you will find the motels about 20 - 25% cheaper in Green River and you should have little trouble finding one, whereas in Moab, depending on the season and the time you get there, you may have to look around a bit. Both North Canyonlands (known as "The Island in the Sky") and Arches are only about an hour's drive from Green River. by Philip Yaffe Highway 24, which leads from Capital Reef towards Arches and Canyonlands, has many attractive sights along the way.
