This is where the little Colorado meets the main body of the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. Stunning spot!

I've been there several times. When it's running clear, the sediment has all settled out, and you find some deeper pools, it really is that color. No camera tricks or photoshop needed. If there's any rainfall anywhere upstream it just looks like chocolate milk.

No editing and just taken with an iPhone! Probably different amounts of sediment at different times of year. Something about the color of the particulate reflects the light and creates that blue color. This was taken in Nov 2020.

Don’t worry - I don’t think this is accessible by car. We were on a rafting trip
