	The Marble Canyon Damsite in the Grand Canyon!
		When Marble Canyon was first considered as a likely site an experienced team which had worked together since 1946 on four other investigations was in shape and ready to go.
		Before the canyon cableway was designed and constructed a search was made for a type in use elsewhere that would be applicable.
		Someday man-made thunder may reverberate throughout Marble Canyon and when the dust and smell of blasting powder has settled powerful trucks may be seen grinding up and down a steep winding roadway serving a full-fledged dam construction operation far below.

	Marble Canyon
		The rock wall on the canyon's north side is higher, at up to 3000' above the lakes, while the south wall is around 1000'; the valley floor's elevation is around 3500'.
		The landscape in the area is a limestone karst, from which it may be inferred (perhaps in error) that at one time the canyon was a huge cavern or chain of caverns that eventually collapsed and became further eroded; even today, Pavilion Creek disappears underground shortly after leaving Pavilion Lake, re-emerging a few miles down-valley.
		Some of the side canyons on the north wall are very deep and are largely unclimbed and unexplored.

		New evidence of lava dam failure and fault activity supports the theory that the Grand Canyon is a geologic infant.
		Growing numbers of geologists now believe that Marble Canyon and the Inner Gorge may be no more than 700,000 years old -- veritable infants on the geologic time scale, and much younger than the earlier 3-million- to 5-million-year-old estimates.
		Some scientists now believe that a third of the canyon's depth may have been cut in the blink of a geologic eye -- perhaps during the past 600,000 to 700,000 years.

	The Marble Canyon Lodge Restaurant - Marble Canyon, Arizona
		The Marble Canyon Lodge is stunningly situated in a deep, wide canyon between the majestic 3000-foot sheer Vermillion Cliffs and the Colorado River gorge, along a remote stretch of the Colorado at the very northern reach of Grand Canyon National Park.
		The Marble Canyon airstrip’s canyon setting and relatively short narrow runway (3715’ by 35’, with scruffy desert vegetation narrowing the usable width by several feet), makes it a moderately challenging destination — perfectly adequate for most GA aircraft and pilots, but with very little margin for error, and ruthlessly unforgiving of unprepared or sloppy pilots.
		The Marble Canyon Lodge Restaurant is open seven days a week during the summer tourist season, serving breakfast from 6 to 11, lunch 11 to 5, and dinner from 5 to 9:30.

	Lees Ferry and the Vermilion Cliffs, Arizona
		Marble Canyon: Officially, Lees Ferry marks the beginning of the Grand Canyon, as the land slopes gently down to the west side of the river but after a short distance downstream there are cliffs at both sides which become steadily higher as the Colorado flows south.
		The Ferry is 15 miles south of Glen Canyon Dam which was completed in 1963, flooding a large area of remote desert, including most of Glen Canyon which was said to rival the Grand Canyon in its grandeur.
		The section of canyon south of the dam is thus the only remaining part; boat trips are available down this too, allowing people to have some idea of what has been lost.
