Our Anniversary trip to Jacob Lake, AZ



Jason and I went away for our Anniversary, to Jacob lake. We went to the Vermilion Cliffs and this picture is at "Cliff Dwellers".

Navajo Bridge, We didn't see any CA condors.



Jason on the bridge. It was a long ways down! I stayed in the middle.




Jason was wishing he brought his fly pole. This is at Lee's Ferry/Colorado River.


This was our cabin at Jacob Lake.




This is the East Rim of the Canyon, Imperial Point.



Angels Window.
Jason got me out onto it, only because there was a rail.

Fall colors were popping up everywhere.




This is a little canyon we caught on our ATV ride.


Ok, funny thing happened on the way to our ATV ride, we drove up this road and parked the truck off on this ATV path. We took the path and it connected again with the main road so we went further back. The whole two hours we did not see a single person! It was nice, but weird! So we get back to the point were we came in and we decided to go down the road further and see what we missed. Well apparently we missed the "ROAD CLOSED" sign. They had been conducting "prescribed fires" a few days before and had closed the road, hence the
solitude.We saw a lot of Animals on the trail, we almost hit a deer and we saw turkey, one of the animals we ran on the trail, inspired Jason's inner child he started poking it with a stick. This is what he got out of the critter.



The poor porcupine that Jason treed.



We were not in a hurry to get home, so we stopped by Panguitch Lake and Jason caught 4 fish.
We had such a nice time and we highly recommend Kaibab Lodge Restaurant! Yummy food!
It was nice to get away, but we missed the kids also. A big thanks to my sister, Becky for babysitting for us. We appreciated it so much!
