In Reality

The scene was filmed at Lake Powell - an artificial reservoir on the Colorado River in the states of Utah and Arizona. About two million people visit this popular vacation spot annually. The reservoir is named after explorer John Wesley Powell, a one-armed veteran of the American Civil War who explored the river on three wooden boats in 1869. There is debate online about whether this location was chosen correctly. When watching the film, it does not resemble Lake Powell due to the green hills surrounding the landing site.
