Colorado River, South of Hite Crossing, October 2022

Just south of the inoperable Hite Marina lies an extended stretch of the Colorado River which was, for 50 years, "buried" under Lake Powell. This was the northernmost stretch of the reservoir, and the place where the river slowed and dropped its enormous cargo of silt from Colorado and Wyoming. Now that the lake has receded southward, the river is once again flowing here. But it must cut a renewed path through 50 years of mud and silt, some of which is more than 100 feet deep. ©Alexander Heilner -- Usage rights are granted for editorial and nonprofit purposes only.
