We stopped at Jacob Lake in the high Kiabab forest near the north rim of the Grand Canyon. This is another favorite spot for us. They serve good food in the restaurant there and they have lots of authentic Navajo, Hopi and Zuni Indian hand crafted articles on sale in their gift shop that are always a treat to look at.

And after you leave Jacob Lake you take the all time favorite road for Terry down off the Kiabab mountains into Marble Canyon and the Vermilion Cliffs north of Navajo Bridge. This is a view of Marble Canyon from the scenic overlook on Alternate 89 east of Jacob Lake.

Our ancester, Jacob Hamblin, for whom Jacob Lake takes its name, rode across these vast distances numerous times on solitary missions to the Navajo, Hopi, Piute and other tribes of southern Utah and northern Arizona. Perhaps that is one reason that this particular part of Arizona has so much meaning. With all the change that continues to take place in so many places of the earth, this area remains timeless, subject only to wind and rain.
