This part of Arizona was beautiful. We were in the Virgin River Gorge. Many of the roads we drove on had to be carved straight out of granite or marble and it must have taken a long time and a lot of money.
Nice bikers from England took our picture at the Nevada State Line. We were nice enough to return the favor for them.
The next few pictures are of us driving down Las Vegas Blvd. Also known as the Strip.
Tucker overlooks the Hoover Dam and Lake Mead.
Here is a look at the exhibit hall where many of the informational activities were located. Also, it had AC, which was a blessing on this day when it was 110 on the concrete.
A replica in the museum of how the Dam was built.
the Colorado River as it comes out of the dam.
Behind us is the new Hoover Dam Bypass which will be open later this year. It was almost as awesome as the Hoover dam :)
We camped near Boulder City at Las Vegas Bay.
Hemenway Park has a herd of big horned sheep that frequent it on hot afternoons. I had been looking forward to seeing a big horned sheep for the whole trip. This group did not disappoint.
Dean loves this picture. There were close to 50 sheep in the park and they were just hanging out eating the fresh cut grass. Other wildlife spotted at our campsite were rabbits, a coyote, and lots of birds.
