On our last day in the Page region we explored the Colorado River. We did the obligatory visit to Horseshoe Bend. It was beautiful and easily accessible, as evident by the number of people there to view it.
We decided to get off the beaten path and head to Lee’s Ferry. It was the only place to cross the Colorado River in the early days. It now is the area where river floats disembark and adventure rafters embark on their journey through the Grand Canyon. At this point it runs through the Vermillion Cliffs which stand majestic on their own.
We hiked the 2 mile Riverside hike. It was the first time I was on keen alert for rattle snakes! We saw none, thank goodness!
We leave Arizona today with a new appreciation for it’s diverse beauty.
