There is a real nice picture of Marble Canyon taken about 3 months
ago at http://airnav.com/airport/L41 It clearly shows the airport at
the top of the canyon, not in the canyon. Of course, MXmoron is too
lazy to try and look anything up. If he had, he would have also
noticed that the pictures of Cliff Dweller's Lodge and Grand Canyon
Bar Ten also show them at the top of the canyon, not in the canyon.


I looked it all up. On a topographic map it is clear that these are
all in the canyon. And if you look closely you'll see that the canyon
is about 2000 feet deep where these airports sit.




So what, fjukwit?
