US 89 Misc.

The above postcard was labeled as being near Bitter Springs.  It's actually north of the big road cut through The Echo Cliffs.  If you were to proceed south through that road cut, you would see a sweeping view of Marble Canyon and The Vermilion Cliffs.  This road became US89 after Glen Canyon Dam was finished.  The prior US89 over The North Kaibab became US89A.
The above card is clearly labeled Highway 89.  The shadows seem to indicate the viewpoint is looking north somewhere south of Flagstaff.
This is THE most intriguing view we found on eBay Thanksgiving Day.  It is not a postcard but a print made from a slide owned by the seller.   Obviously, it is looking north at The Peaks from somewhere south of Flagstaff on US 89A.  The key thing here is the sign you see.  It clearly shows that both the word "Arizona" and the initials "US" were used in the signage.
Here are two fun US 89 oldies from Jackson, Wyoming.
