With our completed hike down into the Grand Canyon, and another trip planned in a few days, we took a few days to explore at a lower energy level. First we headed over to Lees Ferry noting the Vermillion Cliffs on the drive. More canyon beauty.
We set up camp at a small National Recreation Area campground and took a walk to where Lee's ferry was in operation at the turn of the 20th century. When we got down to the "put in" place on the Colorado River, we realized that this was the place that we, along with Michael and our friends, had started our 5 day river raft trip. It was great to see the River.
Then we headed to Desert View campground on the south rim of the Grand Canyon. We had been here 4 years earlier, and as remembered, it was quiet with few tourists, and great views of the Canyon. A day of rest and a time to recharge our batteries for what was to come!
