Located about two hours from Flagstaff, Arizona, just below Glen Canyon Dam and stretching from this part of the Colorado River to its confluence with the Little Colorado River, is Marble Canyon. Together with Lee’s Ferry, Marble Canyon, with its magnificent purple and almost vertical cliffs, marks the start of the western end of the Grand Canyon. Just a preview of the incredible beauty that will come downriver, Marble Canyon and Lee’s Ferry are the popular starting point for river adventures along the Grand Canyon. The Navajo Bridge, where US Highway 89A crosses the Colorado River, is a great spot to see the majesty of Marble Canyon.
