Walking path to Davis Dam

This is a nice walk to Davis Dam. If you want a bit more cardio walk, take it all the way to the top of the dam.

                                          We parked at the rest stop just before you enter Laughlin.

                   The walking path goes over the road (which goes to Laughlin and Bullhead City).

                                                   A view from inside the walkway bridge.

                             A cool little weed (like a small tumble weed) that has little violet flowers.
There were plenty of flowers and green bushes on the way up the path. I am sure a lot of these will be burnt to hell and blown away at summers end.

 There are several picnic area on the way. There are picnic areas all the way up on the other side of the river.
There is also a large children's play ground at the end of this path at the base of the Dam.

                                      The architecture and structures are very nice and clean.

                                                Plenty of information to read going up and back.

                                                      Here is what the path looks like.

                                      More history and information. We did not see any Graffiti.

                                                            The Dam coming into view.

                                                          A stratum rock formation. Tara, if you see this, tell Ami that it is a petrified Dino in the rocks.

           Getting closer to the Dam. Notice that it is land filled on the left and Concrete on the right.

                                                  Time zone change half way up the Dam.

                                      Looking down at the Dam from the top left of the earth structure.

                                             Looking down river from the top left of the Dam.

                                          The reservoir (Mohave Reservoir) side of Davis Dam.

                                                  You can't drive up to the top of the Dam.

                                      Leaving the park and play grounds at the base of the Dam.

                                                One of the casino river boats going upstream.
                                                                                 

                              A cool old fireplace and wall with an arch. Probably an old hacienda. Or possibly a beautiful Villa before 2008 when Obama took office.
                  

                                      Going back over the highway. Check out the cool shadows.

                              If you go to the top of the Dam, it is close to a 4 mile round trip walk. All in all this was enjoyable. But in the summer when it is 120deg. I may take a different view of the experience.
