Navajo Bridge Interpretive Center

Grand Canyon Region


This center on the west bank of the Colorado River has good background information on the region and the historic bridge. Look up – California condors are often spotted overhead – and look down, too, to possibly catch a view of rafting groups who've recently left nearby Lees Ferry on the start of their river journey through the Grand Canyon.
