Mille Crag Bend

Mille Crag Bend is a sharp bend of the Colorado River at the foot of Cataract Canyon, where Narrow Canyon begins, a few miles upstream of Hite. John Wesley Powell's 1869 expedition named it for the crags along the rim. When the lake is high this reach is part of Lake Powell; at lower levels it is river.
