We had friends visiting us in southern NV from WA, and they wanted to go here…

Nice! Wish we still had programs like the CCC and WPA.

They wanted to see the Hoover Dam…they have been before (as I many times), so we parked on the Arizona side to see a different perspective…the spillway…check out the photo of the record high water in ‘83…the spillway hasn’t seen any water in a long time

I remember 12 years ago renting a boat in Lake Mead and taking my family to the bouy line to see the dam from the water…it was a lot higher then…

It’s a beautiful state park. Very intriguing but not a nice place when over 100 degrees

Last time I was there was 1974…she was a full pool back then. It’s good to see it getting water back in there.

North end of Lake Mead is fun fishing for a variety of warm water species. Wish I would have spent more time in Valley of Fire when I was there. Thanks for sharing!

I love VOF. My mom & dad used to go to Vegas all the time. My mom loved playing slots for hours on end, but my dad and I were bored to tears with gamboling, so we would always drive out to the VOF to explore. It's such an incredible place. Did you see "Mouse's tank"? I also used to go on week-long kayak camping trips in Lake Mojave with my brother and some friends. We would often paddle upstream to see Hoover Dam from the water. It's a spectacular thing to see, especially from water level. Here's a photo of my and a buddy in the double kayak.
