We left Jacob Lake early because it was a Friday and I wanted to get to the campground early in the day. It turned out to be the right thing to do. We have been here twice before and this campground is usually empty, us and three or four other groups. This year the place is 3/4 full. Some people are here for a condor release on Saturday however most of the people just seem to be passing through.
We usually have one of the two campsites that directly over look the Colorado River, no such luck this year.
Here is the campsite with the traveling flamingos, in the tree.
We took the car and drove back out to Hwy 89 to take pictures of the Vermilion Cliffs and some of the rock that have fallen down off the cliffs.
I think these a over 2000 feet high.
This is a rock that rolled down from the cliffs a long time ago and the ground around it has eroded away. The pickup belongs to a lady who is using the rock for shade to sell her jewelry.
This is a house which was built under one of these large rocks, great place to stay cool.
