Colorado River

On the drive to the North Rim you travel through the Navaho Indian Reservation. (Actually the Reservation covers a third of the state.) There is a historic bridge that crosses the Colorado River, the only one for hundreds of miles, the original is now a pedestrian bridge. We recommend you stop at the information center at the bridge. Its a good photo spot.

Close to the bridge is the site of Lee's Ferry; it is now part of the Glen Canyon National Park and was the primary place where prospective settlers crossed the river in route to the Arizona Strip.
