[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3059172, member: 7900"] Prior to the Colorado River getting to the Grand Canyon, it goes through Marble Canyon. Where 89A crosses Marble Canyon, there are two bridges called the Navajo Bridges. The upstream bridge was the original, but over time it has been joined by a stronger bridge just downstream of the first. The original bridge is now solely for pedestrian traffic with the newer one being for vehicles. This image is looking upriver from the Navajo Bridges.
