Little Colorado River, Arizona

One of the mysteries of the Little Colorado River watershed is the beautiful milky blue water that emerges from springs — high in calcium and magnesium, reflecting a baby blue color over calcified travertine dams. The water was surprisingly warm (high 60s) — perfect for swimming. Accessed after our Big Canyon technical descent via the Salt Trail exit. About 9 miles to the Colorado River from here.
