I have been to Lees Ferry and it was an incredible place to explore. The area sits right on the edge of the Colorado River and offers a quiet, scenic stretch that feels peaceful and wide open. It’s a great spot to walk along the river, explore the historic ferry site, and enjoy the views of the red rock cliffs all around. One of the most memorable parts of the visit was spotting California condors from the bridge. We looked up and saw these massive birds soaring overhead and even perched near the cliff walls. If you’re patient and bring binoculars, there’s a good chance you’ll catch a glimpse of one. It’s not something you see every day and made the stop even more special. The bridge itself offers a great overlook of the river and canyon, and it’s a nice walk with plenty of opportunities for pictures. Whether you’re just passing through or planning to launch a rafting trip down the Grand Canyon, Lees Ferry is worth the stop. I would definitely go back again. Between the river, the history, and the wildlife, it’s a peaceful and unforgettable place to visit.

Excellent spot! We came here initially to get some water, and was surprised it wasn’t just potable water but drinking water! We then ended up hanging out and letting the kids play in the river. We stumbled across two different groups getting ready to take off for a 14 day river floating down the Colorado River (future bucket list item unlocked!). We did the river trail, which was short and relatively flat (so great for the kids) and had lots of signs to learn more about the local history. Definitely interesting learning about mining and I forget the gentlemen who pioneered the area but he had lots of inventions to try and harvest gold! Overall, would totally recommend - it’s beautiful!

Did you know that this spot is where the Grande Canyon begins?! There is a sign that states it. It’s a beautiful drive down. Several places to stop. Navajo bridge is wonderful. Balanced rocks. The Cathedral rock, but a Navajo lady told me they called it the church. Not much to see at the Ferry crossing but its history. The boat ramp is very busy as there are few boat ramps left due to water levels. Several rafting companies use it after departing from the dam 15 miles away. Pit toilets. Camp ground for under 30’ rigs. No hookups but pit toilets. Potable water down at the ramp and I believe there is an Rv dump as well. It’s a long way down and around into Glen Canyon on the way to Vermillion Cliffs. There is a great beach a few hundred yards away. Very swimable and dogs welcome. It’s very pretty and it it appears you can fish there also.

Absolutely amazing views and access to the Colorado River made the trip so fun for our big guy! Also the campsites were pretty quiet and very clean. Would definitely return here for sure!
