Each site has something great to offer by providing a fire pit and large concrete picnic table. You'll find plenty of shade as well. There are rules we tend to find out each time we come out. Don't bring pallet wood because of the nails. Sometimes they don't allow open flames including your propane stove. That just depends on wildfire risk obviously. Don't feed the deer for safety reasons. The rangers are so friendly and cool. The last time we were there he offered us firewood for a reasonable price since all we had were pallets. Great price for great wood. I almost don't want to share this information just because it's such a gem of a campsite. We don't usually have other campers around us. Should I delete this? LOL

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.

Hubby just bought a new 4WD car and wanted to go off roading, and the drive through Christmas Tree…read morePass came recommended as an easy one for beginners. I'd agree with that assessment. I would say anyone with a 4WD vehicle could easily handle the well-manicured dirt roads. The drive took us about 45 minutes with LOTS of stops to take photos, walk around, and enjoy the desert landscapes. It was very peaceful and quiet, and we only passed one other vehicle the entire time we were driving! It's free, clean, and fun, and you can't ask for more than that! The landscape is (obviously) dry desert, with pretty rocks and flora and fauna. We saw plenty of lizards, birds, chipmunk looking things, and a couple of snakes, so be alert and respect the wildlife! Don't pick anything and don't harrass anything. We drove in early July, when the temperatures were over 110. We brought plenty of water "just in case," and there are several areas where you can wander off on foot (but again, watch for snakes)! I was impressed with how clean it was along the Pass, I did not see one piece of trash anywhere! The roads are graded but the sand gets a bit deep in a few places, where we slid a little while driving. It was fun because the road is very wide with plenty of room. At one end of the Pass, there's an area with well preserved petroglyphs. It does require a bit of a hike which isn't that far distance-wise, but it's in deep sand that's difficult to walk through (especially when the temps are high). I made it maybe a third of the way and turned back. I'll try again in the fall or winter. There's a hole-in-the-ground toilet facility by the petroglyphs if you need it. I am not outdoorsy in the least, but I had a really fun time riding along on this drive. If you're traveling between Las Vegas and Laughlin, it's a fun little "cut through" to get through the desert. Highly recommended.

We should've stopped to see the petroglyphs, that would've been the highlight on this frustrating journey. There was one chubby bush with hardly any Christmas decorations probably about halfway into the drive. Not worth the long road trip. The weather was perfect, but I sure wouldn't do it again.

If you are coming from any part of the US, including Phoenix, the desert metropolis, there will be…read morean adjustment period to Lake Havasu City's dryness. It is extraordinarily dry and lacking in vegetation. There are some unnatural looking palm trees on people's lawns and a few golf courses that are, I can only imagine, laboriously maintained to prevent the grass from drying. The area's dryness is heightened by the fact that the grand Colorado River flows through it. You can see the deep blue waters from most of the city but your feet are generally treading on Mars-like landscape that appears to have never sipped rain. Behind that backdrop of Lake Havasu City and the surrounding area is SARA Park. Someone smart decided to turn a large swath of public land near the city into a recreation dream. The extensive trail system of varying difficulty level is ideally suited for hiking and mountain biking. It was on those trails that I realized that deserts make the best mountain biking trails. There are no trees to remove; instead, the designer can cut the trail along the most fun routes with the best views. Among the many recreational opportunities available at SARA Park, I frequented the archery range as much as the hiking trails. Wednesdays and weekends before noon are open to the public. There's a normal range and a trail that has targets of varying ranges and heights. I regularly saw the same people at the range and they were all very friendly.

So I would recommend maybe meeting at the end of the trail if you HAVE to bring small kids or dogs. You would have to kayak or canoe from willow beach to the end of the trail. At willow beach they do have the equipment available for rent. This hike is long. It took me 4 hours to get to the end and back. There are 7 ropes you will have to go down and climb up to get back. We had to have young men help us up some of the rocks. Boost were needed, and assistance getting down the rocks.

Also, it would be great if some trash bins could be placed throughout, this would go a long way in helping to keep this beautiful spot clean. I will definitely revisit again in the fall, recommend starting this hike at sunrise and when temps are 80 or below! Search and rescue teams were set up in the parking lot at around 12pm while we were making our way out, it was around 90 degrees and getting brutal so friendly word of caution, the temps can get extreme and also this is not a hike for children or dogs!!
