Reservable campsites on cooler Mount Charleston were already taken, so we decided to go to explore Lake Mead. The campground was just minutes from Las Vegas and Henderson. The campground sites offered large sites with paved parking, picnic tables, fire pits, and close proximity to well-maintained and clean restrooms (flush toilets, sinks, running water. No showers). We were dry camping in a Class B RV -- so no hookups -- but the campground had plentiful water spigots and lots of sun to charge our solar panels. There was a mix of campers - from those tent camping to others in large RVs. What was particularly nice was that there was some vegetation -- trees which provided some shade and flowering desert bushes. Our site also had a lovely view of the lake, which was about a 20-minute walk from the campground. (We did not walk down to the beach but others reported that it's rocky). There's a Visitor's Center for the recreation area just a few miles down the street. We spoke with the knowledgable and friendly park rangers, watched a park film, picked up some literature, and bought a few souvenirs.

People eat a lot of great foods visiting Las Vegas. I think walking around away from The Strip helps. Las Vegas does have plenty of local parks and playgrounds that tourists rarely check out. Not huge, but there's three parts of the lakes to it when driving on W Breakwater Drive in the middle. Plenty of off street parking. I usually park by the second or middle lake and then walk around from one end to another. To be exact, there are four lakes with public access: Lake Sarah, Lake Jacqueline, Lake Maddison, and Lake Lindsay. I heard there's Lake Sahara too, but that's only for residential access. Feels safe and clean. Not much to see other than houses, ducks, and birds. Very relaxing. The bike lanes were wide enough for bikes as well as people to walk on if there are no sidewalks in some of the spots. Surprisingly, there are a few nice restaurants in the middle part/section where you'll see lots of two story office buildings in a plaza. Good spots for photography and there are security guards onsite riding around in some areas too. Not many people come here unless they know residents in the area. Lakes are not gated, which makes walking a great option all around here. Definitely check it out even as a tourist. Maybe you can capture a few great photos on a good day too. It's beautiful out there if you really take the time to walk around and take a look. Nice neighborhood. Quiet and calm. Retail shops not far out onto the major streets.

An easy 5 out of 5 stars!…read more This excursion was one of the best parts of my "first time in Vegas" adventure! The others would be Cirque du Soleil "O" and the Sphere. This was a wonderful getaway from the hustle and bustle of the strip, the heat and all the concrete. If you can request your guide, ask for Faith. She was easily an 8 out of 5! She reached out to us and told us exactly where to meet her to be picked up. Then she gave us lots of cool tidbits as she drove us to their headquarters. There we had a chance to use the restroom and it was also where I had a chance to purchase a waterproof (which also floats - very important!) enclosure for my cellphone. From there we proceeded to our launch point. We met up with a few more people who drove there themselves to the launch point. Together there were 6 kayaks in our group led by Faith. The weather was perfect. The water temperature was around 50 so it was quite chilly. But with the heat, it was welcoming. The kayaks were cool because they had a rudder at the back controlled by foot pedals making it much easier to steer. Faith led us on a paddle up towards the Hoover Dam stopping a couple times for a break and lunch. Our excursion doesn't take us all the way to the Hoover Dam. We kayaked about 2 miles up the Colorado River and then back. The scenery driving to the launch point is rather dismal with nothing green, just brown desert. But on the Colorado river, it was amazing! I will cherish the views and the pictures forever! One of the highlights of the excursion is the "Emerald Cave". Hate to disappoint, but it's not much of a cave (a little bit of false advertising if you ask me) but rather a large hole in the side of a mountain. BUT we did get to see the phosphorous algae at the bottom that gives it it's famous emerald glow. Faith said it's most prominent around 3 in the afternoon when the sunlight hits it just the right angle and it was not 3 o'clock when we were there but we still got to see it a little. Then Faith said to paddle straight across the river to the other side for a surprise. Apparently the way the rock is shaped at that area enables sound to echo up to a mile away. We all shouted "Hello" and we could hear the echo a fraction of a second behind us. You have to experience it to appreciate it. Before the excursion you get to pick out a sandwich lunch which we had at one of our stops. It was September and it was still hot enough where (Faith said) if you leave your chocolate chip cookie in the sun for a few minutes, it will taste freshly baked! She wasn't lying. After lunch we did a very short hike to an elevated spot where the view was breath taking! We also got to see some sheep, a rattlesnake (which is always in same spot) and a bald eagle (very far away) up in the rock face. We had "water guns" in our kayaks and we got to shoot each other with that freezing water. In the heat, it felt good. We saw other groups also kayaking and paddle boarding, but there were no motorized crafts on the water that day because it was Monday (also on Sundays). We were lucky because it would've broken up the peaceful quiet of the trip on the river. Unless you kayak or paddle every day, you'll feel it in your upper body the next few days because you do kayak for a couple miles. After returning to the launch point, Faith brought us to a welcome center type area where you can buy souvenirs and then it was back in the van back to Vegas. Faith was amazing guide. Knowledgeable and so nice. She's so good at what she does. If we ever go back, I want to go on this same excursion again! I highly recommend this company and ask for Faith!

The state removed the Pahrump poolfish because there was a fish that was not native to the area that had been put in the lake. They then drained the lake and it has been dry for almost three years. The ranger told us yesterday that they hope to refill the lake by the end of 2019. One note for the future hiking around Lake Harriet. The trail on the east side of the trail is closed for restoration. The ranger told us yesterday that it was permanently closed and there would be no loop hike around the lake. As a bit of history, Chet Lauck of the radio show Lum and Abner, who owned Spring Mountain Ranch for a number of years, had the old reservoir moved to the top of the hill and named it after his wife Harriet. The lake is fed by a well that puts much water into the lake. It's a short hike to the top of the hill to see the lake from the parking lot. Just wait until next year if you want to see it with some water.
