This view is looking cross canyon to the Hite Marina Complex. The boat ramp is visible. The visible pools of water are isolated and will probably drain or evaporate.
The flat gray-greenish areas are deep layers of silt that have pilled up in the river channel since the construction of Glen Canyon Dam.

This view of the Colorado River drainage is looking upstream from the Highway 95 overlook. The boat ramp at the Hite Marina is now short of the river by at least a quarter of a mile.
The river is just barely visible in this image clinging to the north face of the canyon walls below.
