  1. Just went through this area a few days ago and stopped. Was sorry that the signage was all faded out so we did not know exactly what we were looking at on our way to the Grand Canyon from Hurricane, Utah. It was very interesting and unexpected. We did get out of our car and walk around a little, but since we did not have more information, we just took pictures and continued on. Did any Native Americans live here? Were there any actual structures built up in the cliffs? Or was this just a roadside area?

    1. Hi Brenda, yes, it sure is an interesting place. I don’t believe so. Here is a blurb from the article I wrote: “The area was homesteaded in the 1920s by Blanche Russell, a Ziegfeld Follies dancer (a series of elaborate theatrical revue productions on Broadway in New York City from 1907 to 1931), whose car broke down in Marble Canyon.” Thanks for stopping by hope you ‘ll check out the rest of my site and videos.

  2. My husband and I stopped here on a trip moving back to Texas after living in Washington for a temporary job. We thoroughly enjoyed spending time here and I have pictures of the signs that were there at the time. Our favorite “home” had a fireplace and a raised area we assumed was for sleeping. The sign said this area was used for overnighting when road trips were a new thing and told how the cars had to back up the mountain due to cars not having fuel pumps!
