The Colorado River carves a deep path through Marble Canyon in this portion of Grand Canyon National Park. The landscape is defined by extreme vertical relief, where the river meets the Nankoweap Delta and surges through the Nankoweap Rapids and Kwagunt Rapids. High above the water, flat-topped features like Nankoweap Mesa and Blue Moon Bench stand in contrast to the steep walls of Nankoweap Canyon and Kwagunt Canyon.
