Site 49 at Lee's Ferry camp
Spencer
Bike up forest road 307 for a few miles. No table breakfast. Over to Lee’s Ferry camp by just afternoon and into attractive camp overlooking the Colorado 16 miles below the Glenn Canyon dam. Beautiful cold ass river the Colorado 16 miles below the dam. Footache on entry - you don’t stay in; you can’t. Set up in number 49, got a visit from Jenny down the way - been coming to this camp for 40 years. River hike upstream. Laughed and wondered about the up trail that split off a little ways up the river; where could it possiblly go as there was a 1000 foot canyon wall that way. Called “Spencer”. Two fairly hardy hikers of the river walk said it went to the top. S and I thought we’d give it a try the next day and found it harrowing and stopped less than 1/2 way. No more laughing at “Spencer”. No sir.
