"Long before the state – or the country it is in – was even an idea, the route down and over the Colorado River in Marble Canyon was pioneered by the Native American tribes in the area, including the Hopi, according to ADOT's history of transportation in Arizona (link is external). According to the National Parks Service (link is external) , this crossing, where the Paria River flows into the Colorado, was used in 1864 by pioneer Jacob Hamblin. Known as the "Buckskin Apostle," Hamblin was a Mormon from Utah who explored much of northern Arizona in the 1860s and 1870s to find suitable locations for colonies. He's also the namesake of Jacob Lake, which sits at the junction of US 89A and State Route 67. Tensions with the natives would lead to the posting of guards to keep this important river crossing open." (Adot). Very Good .
