North Lake Mead

Had a family get together in Vegas. Decided to take a look around the north side of Lake Mead. I had heard the water level was low. That was an understatement. As I was wheeling in areas, my GPS showed I should have been in Water. Launch ramps that were closed and areas that looked abandoned. Went for a few hikes and I did see some nice red rock and an old desert big horn Ram.

Regards, Steve

Heh, I was just there on the other side... or at least where the other side used to be. Now its just miles of restored Colorado riverbed.

(the top of the cliff is the former lake bottom)

Yup, water has dropped a lot since I went out there... Too bad, nice pictures though

Great pics Steve. That sucks that the water is so low. Maybe all this weather will help with that.

Neat pictures. Hey, at least you're closer to the fish now!
