This large park off of AZ 95 is shockingly dirty. I'm not ready to fully attribute this to the…read moreParks Department, but rather the people who visit and leave large heaps of garbage strewn throughout the park. During some early morning walks the groggy m*th heads who slept in the park overnight were waking from their slumber which can always be a tad unnerving. However, is you can avoid the broken glass bottles and trash, there is excellent access to the River- although it's just packed with people. Good commercial and public boat/jet ski launch. The groundscrew was also keeping the grass cut.

Came here with our family and while the beach was surprisingly good sand and quite large, the beach…read morewas way too packed, and there were 14,000 jet skis running through the river. Many of them were docked right in the beach, resulting in a lot of people ripping through very closely to where people were swimming. Between that and the strong current, this was in my opinion not a very family friendly beach, at least for one with small children.

Big Bend is beautiful! Perfect place to spend the day with your family. There are a few rules one…read moreshould know before heading there which can be found on their website. The park has improved since our first visit about 3 summers ago. We come here at least once and we all enjoy it, we get there early morning and leave right before closing. I may add, if you go during the summer, you MUST wear sun protection and bring lots of water, the heat is no joke. The water is really cold which is refreshing on a hot summer day. The staff is very friendly and informative, also very helpful!! My tent blew away during a little windy moment and they helped me bring it back while also providing tips to prevent it from happening again. In the past, we had to get there before the park opened to secure a spot and once capacity was met they didn't allow anyone to enter. This was tough since there were a couple times we didn't make it on time and had to go elsewhere. Now, things have changed, which is a lot more convenient. They only allow the people that have reserved online go in from 7am-11:30am. If you DO NOT have reservations, you will NOT be allowed in before 11:30. At 11:30 they will only allow you in if they haven't reached capacity and it's first come first serve. If you did RSVP and make it after 11:30am, you risk losing your spot since general people will be allowed in at that time.

The Monolith Garden Trail is a stunning 7-mile loop trail located right off Highway 93 near the…read moreI-40 interchange in Kingman, Arizona. DIAMONDS: The trail is green, filled with otherworldly volcanic rock formations, and offers abundant scenic contrast in terms of vegetation and desert landscapes. The trail is easy to access in any type of vehicle, and I would classify it as a Class 2 trail. During my hike, I encountered two mountain bikers on the actual loop and roughly 10 people on the access trail as I was exiting and walking back towards the trailhead. AREAS FOR IMPROVEMENT: There are no facilities such as restrooms, shade pavilions, or water fountains at the trailhead or anywhere along the trail. The parking area is also small and rather sparse, which could be problematic on a busy day.

A true oasis in the desert. I almost don't want to share how incredible this part of Lake Mead NRA…read moreis so that it stays beautiful. Here's the irony--I lived in Las Vegas for 15 years and had never been to Lake Mohave until I moved to Phoenix and came back for a work project at Cottonwood Cove. Man oh man do I wish I had known of this beauty in all the years I felt stuck in a overbuilt, dirty city. My zen level would have been far better had I taken periodic trips to the lake. I mean, I've obviously been to Lake Mead but it's not special. The surrounding desert is, but the lake is murky and gross. Lake Mohave has no serious bath ring, has beaches, and has beautiful clear water. The Cottonwood Cove area even has a store with tons of beverages and snacks at reasonable prices. I definitely will be back in the future for some R&R in this desert oasis. Definitely do yourself a favor and spend some time relaxing on a boat here, I really don't think you'll regret it.

An awesome find on a roadtrip from Flagstaff to Hoover Dam. Pulled off of Highway 40 on a whim to…read moreexplore Lake Mohave and after several long minutes on winding narrow road amongst the desolate desert landscape, the road opens up and you arrive at the lake, which laid beautiful against the backdrop of the desert landscape and gave off an aura of mystery and tranquility and rest. People were canoeing and paddle boarding and fishing. Met a young conservationist from the fish hatchery there who showed off the baby fish which he had taken from the lake to nurture in the hatchery. We sat by the lake for awhile and enjoyed the atmosphere and scenery, but wished we had more time dedicated to the lake. Will definitely be back and do some canoeing next time!

Located right along the river, this is such a nice space in Bullhead City. It's dog-friendly, too, and you can take a small staircase down to the water (we saw several dogs enjoying a nice swim the day we visited). Note that the park's location means that it can get SUPER windy, so hang on to your hats if you're walking around! There are different monuments to veterans, all very moving and lovely. There's even a monument dedicated to K-9 warriors. Be sure to take your time and read all the plaques and stroll along the waterfront park. It's really, really nice, and will prove even more meaningful to anyone who has friends, family, or who themselves have served in the armed forces. There's a nice grassy area and an eternal flame as well as flags representing each service branch. Kids will love the Howitzer tank (located about halfway between the start and end of the park). Benches adorn the route so you can sit for some quiet reflection. This really is a gorgeous spot to just chill, relax, and remember America's brave servicemen and women (and canines)!
