| Lees Ferry was the only place were it was possible to cross the Colorado River after Marble Canyon in the 1900's. A wagon road named Honeymoon Trail, followed Vermillion Clifs from Utah to the east, crossed the Colorado River by Lees Ferry, and continued to the south along Echo Cliffs. The name Honeymoon Trail came from just married Mormons who traveled this way in closed prairie wagons from central and east Arizona to bless their marriage in the temple at St. George, Utah, and then back to Arizona.
