Marble Canyon is located
at the northeastern tip of the Grand Canyon, near Lee's Ferry along Alternate
US-89. Here the Vermillion Cliffs on the west bank of the river create
a spectacular backdrop to the surrounding desert terrain. At the river,
the Navajo Bridge stands as an impressive feat of engineering. The original
bridge was built in 1928 and is no longer used. A new bridge built in the
early 1990's now carries travelers across the gorge. All of the photographs
in this gallery were taken from the original Navajo Bridge, with the exception
of number 005, which was taken from the east bank between the two bridges.
On the day I visited Marble
Canyon in late December, we spotted a condor perched on the railing of
the old bridge; however, another pedestrian was already approaching it
far ahead of me and it flew off long before I could get close enough to
photograph it.
The photographs in this
photo tour were taken in December of 2006. They highlight Marble Canyon
and the Navajo Bridge that crosses it. Related links for Marble Canyon
are listed near the bottom of this page.
