Goldstrike Canyon near Lake Mead
This is another great day trip from Vegas as you suddenly leave the interstate and start hiking down into the canyon that eventually reaches the Colorado River. Some parts were pretty technical and the ropes deteriorating
The trailhead off interstate 11
You are close to the Hoover dam as the crow flies but the sounds of the road quickly dissipate as you enter the canyon
The hot springs
It was pretty chill on a mid week day with locals from Las Vegas
Nice to see clear water of the Colorado River with normal water levels
Green colours at the bottom of the canyon where it gets wet
The Cruz of the climb back out
White Rock Canyon Trailhead
This was actually from a different trailhead on the Arizona side of the Hoover Dam. Apparently there are hot springs here too. One of the guys at the bottom of the Nevada side to be careful not to get any of the warm water in your nose. Apparently he was right if they are posting signs about the warning
Hoover Dam from the highway bridge
I read the book on Pat Tillman called "Boots on the ground by dusk" which depicts the sad story of his life after walking away from a football contract and joining the army
The Nevada side of the bridge. There might be a time change here too?
