Back on the road I headed east towards the Grand Canyon. Arizona calls Alternate Route 89 (89A) the Fredonia-Vermillion Highway because it parallels the Vermilion Cliffs. There are several turn-offs along the Highway with signs pointing out various bits of local historical information.
Kaibab National Forest
Driving in an easterly direction I saw a bunch of cars parked along the side of the road and stop to investigate. The stop had a sign with the history of the Kaibab National Forest. There is a short trail to an observation structure. I found out later that this stop is called the LeFevre Overlook.
The overlook reportedly provides a good view of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. The view across a long valley was not particularly impressive, at least at this time of year.
