I was travelling from AZ to WA earlier in April by way of Marble Canyon and had a chance to stop and take some pictures from the Navajo Bridge. It was fun to imagine some of the scenes and references from the Grand Canyon related stories including "Down by the Riverside." I would post a couple of the pictures but don't see a way to do it. I'll add my thanks for the great stories you post on the site!!

Reading these books had inspired me to cruise around the area a bit a couple of years ago. Something that still amazes me from that visit were all of the signs saying "don't jump off of the bridge."

At the time, I was thinking, okay, it's shallow water there. That much is kind of obvious. But it looked like about 50-feet down. It wasn't until I got back home (east coast) that I realized that the river is, what, 450? 490 feet down?

It's amazing scenery out there, and if you were doing US-89A up from Flagstaff into Utah, that's a really nice drive.
