Greetings;
Just got back last week from a camping/canoeing trip up in Northern Arizona. If you are ever in the sights of Powell or headed to the North rim of the Grand Canyon. Lees Ferry is well worth a look. Its the gateway to the Grand Canyon. Colorado river launches into the Grand Canyon start here. While permits are required to go down river. None are needed to go up river 12 miles towards Glenn Canyon dam. That is the famous dam that forms Lake Powell. The campsites are large, panoramic and spacious. The first set of 5 is of the campgrounds and surroundings. You'll make out the river below, always within eyesight and a quick hike down to fish. Shade is sparse and the river bone chilling cold! Entrance fees to the park are required as are camping fees.
Thanks for looking:
