Three Canyon Camp

Three Canyon Camp at mile 46 sits near the confluence of three small drainages entering the Green River corridor in close succession — giving the camp its name. The three-canyon configuration creates a more complex topography than most Desolation camp sites, with multiple small drainage alcoves behind the main bench. The camp is popular in part because Three Canyon Arch — a natural arch visible from the river — is accessible on a moderate hike into the adjacent drainage. The camp is well-positioned for the middle section of the float, and the arch hike is the most straightforward scenic objective in this stretch of the canyon.
