That adds time to the trip, but the views can be spectacular. Of course, I had to stop at Jacob Lake Inn for the cookies. I had several people tell me that I had to stop. Who am I to reject the advice of random people?<\/p>\n
Jacob Lake is the entrance to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. Even though I was passing through at the end of April, the entrance wasn’t open yet. After seeing the snow in Bryce Canyon, I can imagine that the conditions \u00a0might not have been right yet.<\/p>\n There was a pine forest around Jacob Lake. Tall pines. I would have liked to have stayed, but the campground wasn’t open yet, either.<\/p>\n Back on the road, I notice a pull off for a scenic view. The traffic was light and there was easy parking, so I pulled off to take a look.<\/p>\n Wow!<\/p>\n At the top of the stairs to the overlook, there was a cute little shelter. It mad me think of what an Airstream dinette would look like if it was designed by Fred Flintstone.<\/p>\n Back on the road, and there was another scenic pull off.<\/p>\n I was getting close to the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument. The land sure does change quickly!<\/p>\n I stopped for a late lunch at a restaurant called Cliff Dwellers. It was also recommended by a random person.<\/p>\n Nourished and refreshed, it was time for the final push to Lee’s Ferry Campground.<\/p>\n I got there and found a pull-though site. I leveled the trailer and got unhitched and then went to pay my $18 nightly fee at the kiosk. It’s a small campground and no one was on duty – at least not this time of year. Someone in an official vehicle toured the camp several times a day, but no one was there to check us in and out.<\/p>\n The campground is perched on a bluff above the Colorado River. There are about three sites that have front row seats. I was tucked in the middle, but I still walked over to take a look.<\/p>\n Yep! That’s the Colorado River down there!<\/p>\n And, judging from the sign in the restroom, there is fishing in the river.<\/p>\n There are lizards up around the campsites.<\/p>\n I met a lizard sunning itself on \u00a0my way back to the trailer. I had business to attend to back in the trailer, however.<\/p>\n COOKIES!<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" After Bryce Canyon, my next destination was Lee’s Ferry, part of the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area.
