This picture is actually near the mouth of Labyrinth Canyon at Trin Alcove Bend. Trin Alcove Bend is located about 29 miles south of "Gunnison Crossing" (at Green River State Park in Green River, Utah). Canyon cliffs consist of Navajo Sandstone. When this location was photographed again by Hal G. Stevens in 1968, the barren sandbar extending to near the center of the river from along the left side of the stream was mostly missing except immediately along the cliff face where a narrow floodplain and slope is stabilized by dense vegetation.
