I have driven through the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area twice as of the posting of this photo tour gallery. The second time was no less splendid than the first. Driving in from the west side of the river, the road takes you on a gradual descent through a narrow canyon of dark rock for several miles before coming out onto a pullout with a grand view of the river basin below. The drive down to the river bridge is nothing less than spectacular.

The photographs in this photo tour were taken in May of 2005. They highlight the scenic wonders found along the Colorado River at the Hite crossing in the upper Glen Canyon NRA. Related links for Glen Canyon NRA are listed near the bottom of this page.

The river cuts a deep canyon through the Glen Canyon NRA. The bridge in the distance adds a touch of civilization to the predominately barren landscape.

Variations in the texture and color of the rock formations
along the river at the Hite crossing highlight the drive.

All images are available in 8 x 10 inch and 11 x 14 inch prints, while some are also available in 16 x 20 inch prints.

NOTE: because I have several photo journal web sites containing several hundred images, it is important to reference both the title of the web site (in this case: Utah Photo Journal) and the title of the image (as it appears above the image on the individual image page) when inquiring about print orders.
