Lees Ferry Historic District

ReisenindieUSA.de - Spencer Trail, Lees Ferry, Arizona

The Spencer Trail is a steep out and back hike at Lees Ferry to the top of the Vermillion Cliffs with great views in all directions. Be aware that all part of the trail is in the sun, no shadow. Take enough water and a cool beer to hit off when you reached the top!

A Day on the Lake

Glen Canyon National Recreation Area covers 1.2 million acres, stretching from Lees Ferry, Arizona northeast to Canyonlands National Park in Utah and encompassing magnificent vistas, geologic wonders, and a vast panorama of human prehistory and history. NAU student Ryan Gahris explores the history, the science and the beauty of Glen Canyon NRA.

This is a 2011 SCPN-NAU School of Communication collaboration student project.

Rafting the Colorado River - Glen Canyon, Arizona

The trip on a motorized raft began at Glen Canyon Dam near Page, Arizona, followed the Colorado River through a landscape of soaring sandstone cliffs and ended 15 miles downstream at Lees Ferry. Our captain and river guide was an expert on the geology and history of the area and, at one point, serenaded us with a melody played on his grandfather's Navajo flute. I embarked on the half-day, white-water-free trip on April 15, 2012 and it's something I would gladly do again anytime.

Arizona Adventure, The Adventures of Olive & Emilie

Last September, we set out on our annual 3 week adventure, this time we stayed in Arizona, and were, once again, stunned by the beautiful and diverse landscape of the state, we live in. We visited the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, Marble Canyon and Lees Ferry, Flagstaff, the Arizona Snowbowl, the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, travelled on the old historic Route 66 to Kingman and Oatman, and spend the last leg of our vacation in Payson, from were we explored the gorgeous Mogollon Rim and Mormon Lake. Watching this slide show, we realized, how much we've seen in just three weeks. This was a great adventure, and we didn't have to travel far or spend tons of money. We are the happiest when we are on the road with Homie the RV and exploring on our Royal Enfield Bullets C5.
There is no need to travel to some exotic countries to have an adventure. Just break free from the rat race once in while and have fun!
Now sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery and fun tunes!

Grand Canyon from the East Entrance - Arizona - LeAw in the USA //Ep.45

We are living the American dream driving the Historic Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica but we are doing some detours to visit some places we like.
In this 45th episode, we visit Grand Canyon National Park. Enjoy the ride with us! ;)

Grand Canyon National Park, located in northwestern Arizona, is the 15th site in the United States to have been named a national park. The park's central feature is the Grand Canyon, a gorge of the Colorado River, which is often considered one of the Wonders of the World. The park, which covers 1,217,262 acres (1,901.972 sq mi; 4,926.08 km2) of unincorporated area in Coconino and Mohave counties, received more than six million recreational visitors in 2017, which is the second highest count of all American national parks after Great Smoky Mountains National Park. The Grand Canyon was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.
Grand Canyon was officially designated a national park on February 26, 1919, though the landmark had been well known to Americans for over thirty years prior. In 1903, President Theodore Roosevelt visited the site and said: The Grand Canyon fills me with awe. It is beyond comparison—beyond description; absolutely unparalleled through-out the wide world... Let this great wonder of nature remain as it now is. Do nothing to mar its grandeur, sublimity and loveliness. You cannot improve on it. But what you can do is to keep it for your children, your children's children, and all who come after you, as the one great sight which every American should see.
Despite Roosevelt's enthusiasm and strong interest in preserving land for public use, the Grand Canyon was not immediately designated as a national park. The first bill to establish Grand Canyon National Park was introduced in 1882 by then-Senator Benjamin Harrison, which would have established Grand Canyon as the second national park in the United States after Yellowstone. Harrison unsuccessfully reintroduced his bill in 1883 and 1886; after his election to the presidency, he established the Grand Canyon Forest Reserve in 1893. Theodore Roosevelt created the Grand Canyon Game Preserve by proclamation on 28 November 1906, and the Grand Canyon National Monument in 1908. Further Senate bills to establish the site as a national park were introduced and defeated in 1910 and 1911, before the Grand Canyon National Park Act was finally signed by President Woodrow Wilson in 1919. The National Park Service, established in 1916, assumed administration of the park.
The creation of the park was an early success of the conservation movement. Its national park status may have helped thwart proposals to dam the Colorado River within its boundaries. (Later, the Glen Canyon Dam would be built upriver.) In 1975, the former Marble Canyon National Monument, which followed the Colorado River northeast from the Grand Canyon to Lee's Ferry, was made part of Grand Canyon National Park. In 1979, UNESCO declared the park a World Heritage Site.
In 2010, Grand Canyon National Park was honored with its own coin under the America the Beautiful Quarters program.

The Grand Canyon, including its extensive system of tributary canyons, is valued for its combination of size, depth, and exposed layers of colorful rocks dating back to Precambrian times. The canyon itself was created by the incision of the Colorado River and its tributaries after the Colorado Plateau was uplifted, causing the Colorado River system to develop along its present path.
The primary public areas of the park are the North and South Rims, and adjacent areas of the canyon itself. The rest of the park is extremely rugged and remote, although many places are accessible by pack trail and backcountry roads.
The park headquarters are at Grand Canyon Village, not far from the south entrance to the park, near one of the most popular viewpoints.

The North Rim is a smaller, more remote area with less tourist activity. It is accessed by Arizona State Route 67.

The South Rim is more accessible than the North Rim; most visitors to the park come to the South Rim, arriving on Arizona State Route 64. The highway enters the park through the South Entrance, near Tusayan, Arizona, and heads eastward, leaving the park through the East Entrance. Interstate 40 provides access to the area from the south. From the north, U.S. Route 89 connects Utah, Colorado, and the North Rim to the South Rim.

Montezuma Castle National Monument - Camp Verde, Arizona

Montezuma Castle National Monument protects a set of well-preserved dwellings located in Camp Verde, Arizona which were built and used by the Sinagua people, a pre-Columbian culture closely related to the Hohokam and other indigenous peoples of the southwestern United States,[4] between approximately 1100 and 1425 AD. The main structure comprises five stories and twenty rooms, and was built over the course of three centuries.

Neither part of the monument's name is correct. When European-Americans first observed the ruins in the 1860s, by then long-abandoned, they named them for the famous Aztec emperor Montezuma in the mistaken belief that he had been connected to their construction (see also Montezuma mythology).[6] In fact, the dwelling was abandoned more than 40 years before Montezuma was born, and was not a castle in the traditional sense, but instead functioned more like a prehistoric high rise apartment complex”, as many families lived there.

Several Hopi clans and Yavapai communities trace their ancestries to early immigrants from the Montezuma Castle/Beaver Creek area. Clan members periodically return to these ancestral homes for religious ceremonies. (Wikipedia)

Paria Canyon/Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness - A Lasting Legacy

In Utah, the spectacular Paria Canyon/Vermillion Cliffs Wilderness Area is about 45 miles east of Kanab. The Wilderness area encompasses 112,000 acres of redrock canyons and upthrust fault mountains.

Coyote Buttes is a Special Management Area of the Paria Canyon/Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. It has become one of the most popular destinations for many people visiting the Colorado Plateau. It is colorful but fragile Navajo Sandstone slickrock. The attraction is the thin ledges that swirl in wild contours of color and stone that are Coyotte Buttes Northvery brittle and breakable. It has grown as an attraction over the years due to the many published photographs and other media coverage of this small area. Nature has fully used its imagination to converge with the appreciation of our individual minds in all their variety of thought and wonder.

Before highways and railways, before pioneers, even before Columbus...the land we know as the United States was truly a vast wilderness. To protect these last remaining areas, in 1984, Congress created the Paria Canyon/Vermilion Cliffs Wilderness. Coyote Buttes' outstanding scenery, desert wildlife, colorful history, and opportunities for primitive recreation will remain free from the influence of man and are protected in this condition for future generations. Its 112,000 acres beckon adventurers who yearn for solitude, scenic splendor, and the chance to explore one of the most beautiful geologic formations in the world.

The wavy pattern seems to have been created by exposure of the flash flood by a flash flood made of sand dune settled for thousands of years, and the exposure of the iron-rich strata.

Operation Glen Canyon Dam

Geofortis is pleased to provide this historical story behind the construction of the Glen Canyon Dam on the Colorado River. Produced by the United States Department of Interior, Bureau of Reclamation, this film shows the massive challenges and solutions that were employed to construct this enduring and iconic structure in the United States and how natural pozzolans were leveraged to solve some of the challenges the project faced.

Marble Canyon Navajo Bridge

Footage from the Navajo Bridge over Marble Canyon Highway 89a in northern Arizona near Page. The bridge passes 467 feet above the Colorado River. The rafts seen below are passing downstream to the Grand Canyon. Prior to the bridge construction, Lee's Ferry was the only passable point for traffic bound for the North Rim and Utah destinations. The original bridge, built in 1929, was converted into a pedestrian footbridge in 1995.

Marble Canyon Research; Sipapu, Kincaid's Cave (1909) Lost Civilization in Grand Canyon Found!

IMPORTANT - Please set your historical imagery to October 2012 to view the image in GE!

I have today April 25th, 2014 located using Google Earth, a cave and area previously discovered by Mr. G.E. Kincaid in 1909 and written about in The #Arizona Gazette. This location holds several anomalies which I have marked in Google Earth. The coordinates are also marked. As of this writing I am still stunned by what I have seen at this location even on software. The discovery I have seen shows a figure, a giant stone (head) statue of 100 feet tall, partially buried, yet I can see the bust in likeness is somewhat Egyptian, perhaps Incan, a very mystical feeling came over me and the spirit of the statue spoke to me, instructing me to search closer, and this opened the apparent entrance way to the cave. I also was able to see a large cut stone area where many rocks of similar size were gathered. The entrance is seen almost exactly as described by G.E. Kincaid. A large deer carving also marks the area. (My exact notes at the time of revelation).
A word about the origins of this structure. It is very similar in diagram to the Poverty Point mounds found in Louisiana, US. According to diagrams made from Mr. Kincaid we could say the mounds in Louisiana are exactly half shape of the underground cavern in Arizona, both showing the same circular form. We are all very eager to place the Arizona discovery in the Egyptian realm, however what is the origin of these people, for Egypt is a Greek term basically. Plato, in his dialogues described Atlantis in depth, and he included vast circular forms as a main structure. We know basically Atlantis stretched to all corners of the globe with a main focus being the Gulf of Mexico gateway, and we see pyramidal temples in Louisiana striking similar to ziggurats of Uruk, in Mesopotamia. I conjecture Atlantis the common elder in this long history of civilization.

April 26th, 2014
Actually, the head statue, deer carving and cut stone deposits were not mentioned by Mr. Kincaid, therefore I would say these are then new discoveries.

Coordinates:
Statue 36°19'15.69N 111°51'26.46W
Entrance 36°19'14.39N 111°51'30.19W
Stairway 36°19'14.42N 111°51'30.86W
Cut Stone Deposit 36°19'14.28N 111°51'28.64W
Deer Carving 36°19'13.98N 111°51'26.83W

In Google Earth the eye altitude is placed at 3380-4000 ft.
The elevation of the entrance is 3020 ft. above sea level

It is entirely possible that this cave marks an origination of the #Toltec peoples who then at a later date migrated southward to the city of Teotihuacan. Here is the #Sipapu of these tribes. It is quite easy to travel from Atlantean settlements on the Gulf coast into the canyon, then migrate to the south. In this theory the Toltec peoples would be entirely related to Egyptian society, as the Atlantean civilisation had flowered into opposite branches at that point in history. In prophecy we read the tales of return of the men of knowledge, the return of the golden age upon us in 2014.

April 27th, 2014
In further study of the cave entrance I find also the cave is marked with another large exotic head carving, likely Quetzalcoatl bird plumed headdress, the cave entrance with top and lower ledges. The now two head monoliths have great similarities to Toltec art statuary found in Tula and Kukulkan Temples.

April 28th, 2014
Have discovered another smaller head carving at left of cave entrance.

May 1st, 2014
The location of the discovery is mapped 49 miles from Lee's Ferry Campground boat in. 7 ½ miles south of Anasazi Foot Bridge. 1 ½ miles south of great waterfalls on east wall. 1 mile north of Nankoweap Canyon and Creek area. 10 miles north of confluence of Little Colorado River rock area.
The cave discovery is a proximal 1 ½ miles to visible ancient grain storage, on the west side.

May 6th, 2014
Exact measurements of Upper Head Megalith 95' overall tall, 55' head to chin, 40' wide.
Lower Plumed Head 48' tall, 28' wide. Smaller Entrance Head 10' tall.

May 8th-9th, 2014
Two pyramid structures found at river level, one totally resembles smaller two step pyramids at Teotihuacan, Mexico. Nankoweap granaries placed, one wall megaglyph found at Nankoweap east wall. Trail gathering found, also megalithic T carving found at area marking stair and entrance area.

May 19th, 2014
Identified large carving of mountain lion to left of deer carving;
Coordinates 36°19'15.22N 111°51'26.04W

May 28th, 2014

Identified scorpion tail or corn grain megalith to right of head.

Coordinates 36°19'15.20 N 111°51'26.81W

Identified possible fish shape proximal to mountain lion.

August 24th, 2018 After research of mudfossil existence and origins, I now believe the plummed man is an actual mudfossil of a giant man who lived in the canyon and created the carvings.

Any interested parties for further expedition please contact me.
