View from atop the Kaibab PlateauReturning from the music festival, I took Route 59 out of Hurricane, UT to pick up Route 89A at Fredonia, AZ. From Fredonia, you head south and make the climb up the Kaibab Plateau. At Jacob Lake, you're at about 8000' in elevation amid a ponderosa pine forest. From here, you can take Route 67 to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon. I began the drive down the other side of the plateau into the sage flats and along Vermillion Cliffs National Monument.
This is real Desert Southwest mesa territory. You half expect The Roadrunner and Wile E. Coyote to run across the road in front of you.

Classic Southwestern mesa

Near the turn off to Lee's Ferry

Spanning the Colorado
Looking straight down; a small, sandy beach separates red rock from emerald water
Lee's Ferry is just up river a piece...I reckon.
