Description
Marble Canyon, so named of its colorful rocks and cliff walls is just below Glen Canyon Dam and extends from this area of the Colorado River to the confluence with the Little Colorado River. Along with Lees Ferry, Marble Canyon marks the beginning of the Grand Canyon at its most western point. Marble Canyon is also well known for the Navajo Bridge, where US Highway 89A crosses the Colorado River; Marble Canyon marks the western boundary of the Navajo Nation. The Glen Canyon Dam filters silt from the river, causing the clean green color of the Colorado River below the dam as it passes through Marble Canyon.
