About Ten Mile Rock

While rocks are nothing new to the Grand Canyon, Ten Mile Rock is fairly interesting due to its shape and balanced position in the river. The name is obvious, but as you pass by you have hit the ten mile point since launching at Lee’s Ferry.

Trent Nelson has some interesting photos of a high water trip in 1996 showing the slab. Here’s a link to the photos and blogpost.
