Back to Hite Area
The Hite Marina is about 36
miles south-east of Hanksville on highway 95. There is a junction at the mouth of North
Wash. Continuing on east down North Wash on highway 95 will take you to the Hite
Marina. Turning south at the junction of highway 95 and 276 will take you to Bull Frog.
The Henry Mountains are just south of Hanksville. There are four mountain ranges to the Henry Mountain. The North, Middle, South, and the Little Rockies. The most northern mountain od the North Mountain is called Bull Mountain. There are many overhangs, springs, and canyons entering North Wash as you drive to Hite. There is a park at Hog Springs. There is a lookout just before the road drops down into the confluence of the Dirty Devil and Colorado Rivers. The lookout looks onto the Hite Marina some 2000 feet below. From the lookout vantage point you can view where the Dirty Devil meets the Colorado. Hite Marina in the foreground. The highway will cross two main bridges. The only bridges that cross Lake Powell. The Dirty Devil canyon is at the left. Colorado River is entering the lake at the right and is called Dark Canyon. The "Hite Gap" in the highway provides a bulls eye view of the Colorado River Bridge. This is a view between the Dirty Devil and Colorado River bridges. The road from the "Hite Gap" is close to the lake level at the center of this picture.
