Lee’s Ferry - the only place where the Colorado River could be easily crossed and the start of the Grand Canyon - John Lee ran a ferry there starting in 1870. With two of his wives (he was a Mormon) and his children, started a small settlement called Lonely Dell. He had taken part in the Mountain Meadows Massacre in 1857 (was hiding out from the law at Lonely Dell) but was arrested in 1877 and executed by firing squad. Ferry service continued for more than 50 years before the Navajo Bridge was built.

Remains of the old Fort and Assay Office.

Remains of the boiler from sternwheeler steamboat - brought in pieces from San Francisco and assembled nearby. Investors thought it could haul coal better than a mule train - problem was it burned all the coal it could haul just to run. It was run ashore and abandoned - part of the hull is still visible where sand meets the water.

Residence for the Lee Family and the root cellar.

Navaho Bridge - the original (foot traffic only nowadays) was started in 1927 for increasing automobile traffic that the ferry was not safe or reliable to cross the Colorado River.

Second twin bridge completed in 1995.
