view of the colorado from the historic Navaho Bridge. we walked across the old bridge to find 3 California Condors on the tresses of the new bridge parallel to the old one.  We were lucky to stumble on this at a time when a Condor tracker was there monitoring them. She was a wealth of knowledge. it was so coool.



day 25 11/12 Lee's Ferry

 I think we found heaven!!! Lee's Ferry is the beginning of the Grande Canyon on the Colorado river. A Quiet campground with lots of mining and ferry history. It is Part of Glen Canyon Rec. Area, Part of the National park system. So only 10.00 for us to camp!!

View from our campsite in one direction! That's the Colorado river!
Looking other way.
We are at the very beginning of the Grand Canyon....where it all starts!



I love that I can see the river from our bedroom headboard window!

We walked down to the river and explored!
