Description
These two stone buildings, a steam boiler, and the remains of a sunken paddlewheel steamboat remain from Charles H. Spencer’s attempt to extract gold from the clay hills near Lees Ferry Landing in 1910.
Different ferryboats and pioneers, miners, Indians, and tourists crossed here from 1872 until 1928.
Lees Ferry is the only place within Glen Canyon where visitors can drive to the Colorado River in over 700 miles of canyon country, right up to the first rapid in the Grand Canyon. A natural corridor between Utah and Arizona, Lees Ferry figured prominently in the exploration and settlement of northern Arizona. Lees Ferry is now a meeting of the old and the new.
