Show Boat Marathon On Utah Rivers Sunday Boating history will be made in Utah on June 15, when hundreds of motor-driven craft will make a thrilling run thru spectacular canyons down the Green River, and then 68 mile3 up the Colorado to Moab, Utah. Spectators as well as participants parti-cipants in this great boating marathon will receive a thrill as they view the race from such unusual vantage places as spectacular Dead Horse Point or the riverside geyser located on the banks of the Green River, a few miles south of the town of Green River. Or viewers view-ers can see the boats cross the finish line at scenic Moab. Through most of the 196 miles of the marathon, the rivers are entrenched between colored, eroded rock walls that tower from 400 to 2000 feet above the water. Contrasted with the brown and red tones of the rock is the luxuriant green vegetation vegeta-tion of the river bottoms, where adventurous cattlemen graze their cattle and haul them to town on outboard - powered barges. Full information may be obtained from the Chambers of Commerce at Green River and Moab, Utah. |
