Glen Canyon bridge Glen Canyon (near Page), Arizona (1986)
	It was once almost impossible easily to cross the Colorado River for a several hundred mile stretch. The completion of this bridge, across the canyon, in the early 1960s (as part of the dam building project) changed that. A marvel of engineering, the bridge arches from sandstone wall to wall, and is a remarkable tribute to the power and elegance of building. Whether the walls could have looked still better without the bridge is another question; it was a seldom-visited stop before the bridge and dam building began.
