It was mid 80's at Jug Hollow and I guess in the lower 50's upper 40's at night. Warm but not stiffing. We have a hard time figuring out the temp in these low humidity climates, being from FL where 90 means 90 deg and 90% humidity. 90 here feels like 80 to us with the humidity at 10%

The Green River area turnoff is just north of the Warren bridge over the Green River south of Bondurant. It is BLM land, you can access the Union Pass road south of that bridge. There are sites along the river for miles. 43.032955, -110.103816

We drove up toward Union Pass a couple of years ago, spent a week near Pinedale. Did not get across since the road was blocked by a big slushy snow bank. But I noted the great camping spots on both sides of the river. There is an established CG on the south side and the sign near there says dispersed camping permitted.

Yes, you had better weather than we did haha! :) We were in the 90s every day and then almost every afternoon the wind would pick up in true WY fashion.

I will add, the fishing at the Flaming Gorge is awesome. My husband was actually there on July 3rd (his family camps there every 4th, he's from Rock Springs) and caught 3 good size kokanee in a couple hours.

So my Green River and yours are nearby each other. We cut up 352 north of Cora (turns into 650/Green River Lakes Rd) and then stay in the dispersed areas for Bridger/Teton National Forest, a little past the establishd Whiskey Grove CG. So just a bit further in than your spot. Last year we did a real nice RZR ride through Union Pass area that started next to our campsite at the river and Union Pass Rd. to have lunch at Crooked Creek Guest Ranch outside of DuBois. But yes they have "melting season" so if you were there in early spring, that's not surprising that you encountered some slush. It's much better this time of year. I've also done snowmobile rides out there in the winter. That area is one of my favorite places in the world. My Father in Law lives in Pinedale during the summer and we just acquired a piece of land between Pinedale and Boulder to eventually build a cabin on.

Another meal stop if you're looking and since you're really close, the restaurant next to the Conoco in Daniel was one of the better meals I've had in awhile.
