Heavy rains created floodwaters carrying intense red silt, which entered the main channel of the Colorado River from side canyons days before. After the floodwaters receded, the normally whitish beaches were coated with the heavy, red mud. This is the only time I have ever seen the banks of the Colorado this red.
