Navajo Bridge and CALIFORNIA CONDORS

 

In the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument is the Navajo Bridge.

 

Navajo Bridge crosses the Colorado River's Marble Canyon near Lee's Ferry in Arizona.   Raft trips down the Grand Canyon start at Lee’s Ferry and the actual ferry used to be the only way across the Colorado in this area.  In 1927 they built the first bridge.  In 1995 the second bridge, the one used now, was built. 

The canyon is beautiful. 

The most surprising thing we saw, though, was unexpected.  As we were walking across the pedestrian bridge, which was the first car bridge, a tour guide from one of those river trips saw some California Condors, a very endangered species.
