Navajo Arch

Navajo Arch is located in the Navajo Canyon waterway of Lake Powell, in Arizona.
Navajo Bridge crosses the Colorado River's Marble Canyon near Lee's Ferry in the U.S. state of Arizona. Apart from the Glen Canyon Bridge a few miles upstream at Page, Arizona, it is the only roadway crossing of the river and the Grand Canyon for nearly 1000 km (600 mi). Spanning Marble Canyon, the bridge carries northbound travelers to southern Utah and to the otherwise inaccessible portions of Arizona north of the Colorado River, such as the North Rim of Grand Canyon National Park.

Prior to the construction of the first Navajo Bridge, the only river crossing from Arizona to Utah was at nearby Lee's Ferry, where the canyon walls are low and getting vehicles onto the water is relatively convenient. The ferry offered only unreliable service, however, as adverse weather and flooding regularly prevented its operation.

The Navajo Twins in Bluff

Bluff was settled on April 6, 1880 in Bluff Valley, a narrow, cliff-lined valley cut through the deserts of south-east Utah by the San Juan River. While scrawny-looking desert vegetation dominates the scenery for miles in every direction, an abundance of cottonwood trees held the promise of well water. The San Juan River passes along the cliffs lining the south edge of the valley, while Bluff is nestled against cliffs on the northern edge. The Cottonwood Wash emerges from a canyon to the north and passes through the middle of Bluff, being dry except following heavy rain storms. The cliffs sport fantastic rock formations including the Navajo Twins and Sunbonnet Rock.
