When you drive the Highway 89A from Kanab to Page, you come to the marvellous Navajo Bridge. Short distance before you reach the Lee´s Ferry Road which leeds you to Lee´s Ferry, the starting point of the Grand Canyons Raftings. Along the street you can see some rocks which reminds you at oversized mushrooms.
