Marble Canyon Trail
A bridge-linked canyon-rim walk above turquoise water, waterfalls and deeply carved limestone.
Route overview
Follow the canyon rim and bridge sequence to the Red Chairs area, then return.
Marble Canyon follows the edge of Tokumm Creek’s narrow gorge, crossing several bridges for changing views into the chasm. Railings reduce but do not remove the hazard from ice, wet surfaces and canyon edges.
