Fortification Hill was one of most challenging hikes I have ever done; located a hour from Vegas. Plenty of steep inclines and declines on loose gravel. Highly recommend using hiking poles! One particular area requires a little bit of rock scrambling. No shade; completely exposed to the sun. Stunning view of Lake Mead and the surroundings with a distant view of Hoover Dam. Required to drive on ~5.8 miles of dirt road. Recommend a high clearance vehicle. Short video of the hike for those interested! https://youtu.be/iIylDeCLBuE

Fortification Hill is an extinct volcano located in the Lake Mead National Recreation Area on the…read moreArizona side of Hoover Dam. This is a moderately strenuous hike of about 5 miles and about 1,200 feet of elevation gain. This is primarily a class 1 trail hike but portions are steep and loose, and there is a short section of class 2 scrambling with very minor exposure. It is not a hike for children or anyone who can't do some short but difficult rock scrambling or handle a steep scree slope. The hike is fully exposed to the sun the entire way. Make sure to wear a hat, sunscreen and bring plenty of water. Just returned from the hike today. As we were heading down the hill, we saw a baby horned lizard. To drive to the trailhead, they recommend a four-by-four high-clearance vehicle with good off-road tires for the last 2.5 miles of driving. I would not recommend to drive the road if it is raining or there is a threat of rain, as flash flooding occurs here. The view from the top is one of the very best in the whole valley and has a great view of the dam.

There is even a mini elephant rock here like there is at Valley of Fire too. The picnic areas have shade and BBQ pits, and some space in between each one. Nice. There is a bathroom here as well and a decent amount of parking. The hiking trail takes you around the different rock formations and is pretty easy. The best part about it is the views and seeing all the neat formations. Definitely a nice stop or even hangout spot for a while.

Loved visiting Eagle Point at the Grand Canyon's West Rim. This beautiful, natural rock formation…read moresits within the sacred land of the Hualapai Nation. These sacred rocks look like an eagle spreading its wings over the canyon with a rich history to match. Eagle Point was initially known as the "battleship." It was later renamed by one of the Hualapai people to "Eagle Point," when she saw the outline of an eagle in the rock formation. According to the legend, many, many years ago people once lived at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. During that time, an eagle flew down to warn the people of an impending great flood. As the eagle flew back up, it stayed near the top of the canyon to watch over and protect the people. Then, it turned to stone where it remains to this day. Today, Eagle Point is a true highlight that provides magical views. It is the step off to other experiences that the Hualapai Tribe offers to learn about the culture of the Hualapai Nation. Eagle Point houses an authentic Native American village. So interesting to visit the amphitheater to enjoy live music and dance performances. Loved being able to walk over the edge of the West Rim on the Skywalk. It was amazing to be able walk on the largest glass bridge and be able to "walk the path of the eagle" and step out over the Grand Canyon for a one-of-a-kind perspective 4,000 feet in the air. Note: there is a fee for entrance with goes back to support the Hualapai Nation.

What can I say. This may all be my fault for renting a boat in the hottest month of ever!! The…read moreinitial rental process was great. We found them online and chose our boat, time and date there. It was a smooth process to register and prepare for our parties arrival. While I did book a full day rental from 8am to 4pm, we did not show up until around 12pm (yes I called prior to 8am to notify them we were still coming). The young man who checked us in was amazing. He offered us a half day due to only using the boat for half the day. So right there we were winning lol. We walked down to the marina - and met with the guys to review safety and the boat. That did take some time as the boat wasn't ready. But it was okay. When we were finally ready to launch the boat it was amazing. However we did run into an engine issue and had to radio for help but they were quick and came to Assit and we finally made it to the sand bar and spent the rest of our time there. Would I book again ... YES! Would I book again in there middle of July when the devil himself has come on vacation...NOOOOO!! Only feedback I'd share is the walk from the parking lot to the boat is crazy.

The resort has grills set up and tables and we were able to grill some burgers to have dinner that night. Next morning we went to get a boat rental we had and to reserve one more night if possible , we were taken care by Layne Newingham , the manager and gave us super excellent service , also gave us a number for after hours if we needed something. we went to the dock after we ate breakfast and started the process to retrieve the boat , they told us to be back by 4 or 4.30 pm the latest . Everything was great , until my daughter and her boyfriend decided they wanted to go for a ride on the boat , since we had stopped on a cove to have lunch. They left and time went by and they werent back , finally since there is hardly reception there , a message came on the phone that they were stranded , they finally got comunication with the dock and they came to look for them , long story short the boat had to be towed back and we were picked up from the cove by the dock staff. I want to give a big shout our to the staff starting by the manager Layne Newingham, and the guys that took care of us EVAN, LUKE, RUDY, and RYAN , who really went out of their way to make us feel cared for and that we had a good experience also that they cared for us as a customer and as part of Lake Mead resort. You know things happen with water sport items , but being that we had rented a boat , in other circumstances we would have been upset at the marina for the problem we had , but the staff did such an exceptional job that all the biter moment went away and it turned out to be a memorable experience and fun after all , I wish other places would have staff members like these people would be grateful. one of our member almost got heat stroke and the marina guys even provided us with some aloe for the sunburn and were on the look out if we needed anything else. for sure next year we will be back to Temple bar , we always enjoy visiting !!!

The added bonus was our river guide, Ian! He was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and flora/fauna of the region. And such a great conversationalist. Our first stop was emerald cove, which is much smaller than I was anticipating, but still just as beautiful as the photos! On our way back, we detoured at a small rock beach, for a small hike up to a viewpoint where we admired the river from above. The high was 118 so the cool river water was the perfect way to cool off. Overall- highly recommend this experience for anyone who is looking for a unique Vegas adventure!

Kevin is not only incredibly knowledgeable about the lake and the local striped bass, but also super friendly, patient, and great with kids.
