点评:After a great experience in Monument Valley, we spent the night in Page Arizona before heading to the north rim of the Grand Canyon. On the way we made a detour to Marble Canyon and the Historic Navajo Bridge. Although Marble Canyon is only about 15-miles as the crow flies from Page it is a little over 40-by car and took us just about an hour to make the drive. The scenery along the way was magnificent and made for a wonderful drive. Arriving we cross the “New” Navajo Bridge which opened to vehicle traffic in 1995. The is a small visitors center here with restrooms and exhibits. The highlight of our visit was walking across the original 834 foot long Navajo Bridge. The walk across the bridge afforded up with a great view of the canyon that has been carved by the Colorado River some 470-feet below. There were several rafters floating down the river as we made our way across, and we even got a moon from a couple of the folks on the raft. Another visitor said this was an “Unofficial” Tradition. We arrived shortly after 8 a.m. and the color of the canyon and surrounding area was amazing. There is ample parking for all size vehicles at the visitor’s center and admission is free. Needless to say, the Canyon and Bridge are somewhat out of the way, and it takes some effort to get here. But the drive in is on a well-maintained paved road and the landscape is amazing. We ended up spending about an hour there, which was enough time to take in the exhibits and for a leisurely walk across the bridge. I would highly recommend at visit to Marble Canyon and the Navajo Bridge.
