One Year on the Road

Little Colorado River Canyon.

It&#039;s between the Grand Canyon and Lee&#039;s Ferry.

Lee&#039;s Ferry is a small no reservation campground.

There were plenty of sites open.

What a backdrop!

It was just a short road down to the Colorado River.

Prickly Pear cacti were in bloom.

The shore of the river was part of the Grand Canyon National Park.

There was a beautiful white sand beach.

Bailey was happy to swim, but we kept her leashed.

Resting after wading.

Such a gorgeous place, and hardly anyone there.

On the road to the campground were some interesting rocks.

&quot;Help! It&#039;s tipping!&quot;

Near the turnoff for Lee&#039;s Ferry is the Navajo Bridge.

The bridges were built in 1928 and 1929.

One for cars, one for walking.

A nice walk...

...with a great view.

People on a beach way below.

Checking out the view.

This rock looked like an Aztec temple.

On the rocky cliffs, we spotted two condors.

Brought back from near extinction, tagged condors were released from this bridge in 1995.

Down to 20, there are now 400 condors, only 70 in the wild.

The wingspan of a condor is 10 feet.

Back at the campground, Kate describes the condors.

This was the front window view from our campsite.

And the door view. What a setting.

The next morning, we went back to the Navajo Bridge.

The five of us.

Condor watching with coffee.

H9 was still there.

Condor 2 was sunning on the other side of the river.

We waited until H9 took off.

H9 flew across the river.

Showing off that huge wingspan with a landing.

H9 and 2 sunned together.

The a new one, 54, flew in from the other side of the bridge.

This house was built around a giant boulder.

And here&#039;s a little rock dugout.

Skull rock.
