Lee's Ferry
Northern gateway to Arizona for 54 years-from 1873 to 1827-is located six miles upstream from this bridge.
This monument erected to the founder
John Doyle Lee
who, with superhuman effort and in the face of almost insurmountable obstacles, maintained this ferry which made possible the colonization of Arizona.
Frontiersman, trail blazer, builder. A man of great faith, sound judgment, and indomitable courage.
Authority for erection of this monument granted by the State of Arizona 1961 |
