モハベ郡周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ20

Good food and very clean. Not too expensive.

From a 221 meter high observation deck, we enjoy the breathtaking view of Lake Mead, the Colorado River and the numerous valleys and gorges that surround the dam. The Hoover Dam is about as high as a 60-story building and was the tallest dam in the world when it was built in 1935. During our visit, we have the opportunity to go inside the dam. We walk through the original construction tunnels and visit the observation deck with a view of a pressure pipeline and 8 of the commercial generators in the Nevada Powerhouse.

Route 66 in Oatman

Cool Springs was built in the mid-1920s and has been connected with Route 66 from the very start. It contains a small museum documenting the history of Route 66.

Be sure to park (free on the Arizona side, from parking lot 11) and walk across the dam. This way you can appreciate the mighty structure even better.

Not a very strenuous trail but it is long. I did the 7 mile loop in just under 3 hours and really enjoyed it. No shade so sunscreen, hat and water a must.

This massive concrete wall tames the Colorado River, creating Lake Mead behind it. Enough concrete was used in its construction to build a sidewalk that circles the Earth around the Equator! There are many dams bigger than this one, though, just imagine!

The Monolith Garden Trail is comprised of 7 miles of trails with options to shorten or extend your hiking loop.
