Grand Canyon National Park is found in northwestern Arizona. When it was selected as a National Park in 1919, it was the 15th site in the United States to earn the honor. Some six million recreational visitors came to the Grand Canyon in 2017, making in the second most-visited American national park behind only the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
Marble Canyon is the portion of Grand Canyon National Park depicted in the design of the 2010 Burnished Silver ATB Grand Canyon Coin. Marble Canyon is located along the Colorado River as it stretches from Lee’s Ferry to the confluence of the Little Colorado River and is considered the beginning of the Grand Canyon stretch along the river.

This is one of three designs in the ATB Series from the US Mint that was not changed from the state quarters program that ran from the late 1990s through the 2000s. The other repeat designs were those of Yosemite National Park in California and Mount Rushmore in South Dakota.
