In this reach, the Green River flows <br />through a succession of wide, alluvial valleys and narrow, bedrock gorges. Within <br />the alluvial valleys, the Green River has a meandering bankfull channel and an <br />extensive, well-vegetated floodplain. Vegetated channel islands, standing at about <br />the same elevation as the floodplain, are common. At discharges less than about <br /> <br />465 <br />
