Bring a pair of binoculars with you when you come to visit -- you might see a California condor circling gracefully on updrafts off the cliffs.
In fact, the headquarters of the Peregrine Fund's Arizona Condor Recovery Project is located nearby. The condor research team goes into the field daily to track the progress of these rare and endangered birds.

Lonely Dell Ranch
This restored ranch near Lees Ferry was home to the family
that ran the ferry service across the Colorado River. The ferry was the
only river crossing for hundreds of miles, prior to construction of the
Navajo bridge in the 1920s. Reach the ranch by taking the road to Lees
Ferry off Rte 89A just west of the Navajo Bridge; then watch for a sign
for the Lonely Dell Ranch on the left just before the Paria River.
Fredonia-Vermilion Cliffs Scenic Road
Also called Arizona Rte 89A, this road winds past Lees Ferry, through
House Rock Valley, up and over the Kaibab Plateau (where visitors can
enjoy views from the Grand Canyon's north rim) and down to the historic
frontier town of Fredonia. There the road joins the Utah Heritage
Highway, which meanders through historic frontier towns.
