The Colorado River has grown a bit in size since we started with it back in Byers Canyon. That was almost 40 miles back to the east. Here, the westbound Zephyr passes underneath "State Bridge". In 1890, a wooden truss bridge was built by the Colorado State Engineer's program across the Colorado River to improvement transportation in the area. Locals referred to it as the "state bridge". The name stuck, and even after being replaced by a more modern steel bridge, the area is still referred to as State Bridge.
