Twin steel-arch spans over Marble Canyon on US 89A— the 1929 historic bridge is now a pedestrian walkway 467 ft above the Colorado River, with a Glen Canyon NRA interpretive center, bookstore, and condor-watching on the rim. One of only a handful of road crossings of the Colorado for hundreds of river miles.
