Marble Canyon from Navajo Bridge - a photo on Flickriver

            Named by John Wesley Powell, although there is no actual marble the canyon, he thought the polished limestone looked like marble.

Saved by the Sierra Club, this was the sight of one of the last great dams in the west. Along with others, the Sierra Club fought long and hard to block it, and the idea was officially abandoned in 1968. On his last day as president, LBJ proclaimed it as a national monument, to protect it from any further attempts to submerge it as a bathtub artificial lake (Proclamation 3889).
