Top of a Continent

This sign is found at the head of Greys River. Greys Drains to the north into the Snake River at Alpine Wyoming. You can follow the entire length of the Greys River by dirt road from Alpine to this point. It is 64 miles long. It is a great drive to see a river that is 100' or wider at it confluence with the Snake river, continually get smaller and smaller, until it is literally a small spring bubbling out of the hillside.

To the south is La Barge Creek, with drains into the Green River, eventually draining into the Colorado.

To the west is Smiths Fork, which drains to the Bear River, eventually winding up in the Great Salt Lake.

Within 50 miles of our house there are drainages to the Colombia, the Colorado, the Mississippi, and the Great Basin. It truely is at the top of the Continent.
