We are just back from a camping and rafting trip to Green River, Utah. The scenery was spectacular.
New vistas and interesting rock formations greeted us at each bend in the river.
This formation is named for the Egyptian Queen Nefertiti, but we thought it looked more like Bart Simpson!
There are a number of well-preserved petroglyphs in the area near Nefertiti beach and sometimes you can spot bighorn sheep.
Further down river is Swasey’s Beach — an expanse of fine white sand shaded by cottonwood trees. It’s a beautiful spot for a family picnic. Just remember to bring pails so the kids can build sand castles.

It DOES look like Bart Simpson!!! http://ohtheplaceswesee.com
I find the rock formations so interesting. I see gargoyles, animals, chessmen, and faces in the rocks, and even Marge Simpson!
Nope, not Bart Simpson–Nefertiti.
