Atop the Kiabab National Forest, north of the north rim of the Grand Canyon we always stop at Jacob Lake Resort and Restaurant. Here is another meaningful location on our journy as it is named for our ancester, Jacob Hamblin. A pond of water, hardly big enough to be considered a lake, is nearby. It was a stopping and camping place for Jacob Hamblin and other early explorers as they made trips by horseback from communities in southern Utah to trade or conduct missionary efforts among the Indian tribes of the region.

This is a view to the north, after leaving Jacob Lake and continuing down off the Kaibab toward the small Arizona town of Fredonia and its sister city Kanab, just across the state line in southern Utah. We had a restful night's sleep in The Victorian Inn in Kanab Tuesday night. It had been a long, but beautiful day of travel from Show Low.
