12:55 PM LOCAL TIMEMarble Canyon is a rugged, powder-blue gorge where the Colorado River races beneath the historic Navajo Bridge, just downstream from Page, Arizona. The canyon walls are carved from resilient Navajo Sandstone, creating iconic curves and plunging rapids visible from roadside pullouts. Popular activities include scenic drives along U.S. Route 89, short walks to riverside exposure, and as a starting point for longer day hikes into the Grand Canyon. Crossing the Navajo Bridge—the first steel arch span—opened in 1929; a newer concrete bridge carries U.S. 89. Visitor services are limited but the site offers dramatic views, access to the river below, and serves as a gateway for river trips and canyon exploration.
