Our Journey: South Cove Lake Mead at Lake Mead National Rec Area

Our Journey date: 2022-11-04

In 2022 & 2023 I stopped by South Cove Lake Mead. This is where the Colorado River exits the Grand Canyon and starts to form Lake Mead. It's located on the eastern edge of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area that covers 1.5 million acres of mountains, canyons, valleys and includes Lake Mead. It sure is a beautiful drive thru the giant Joshua Tree forest in Dolan Springs to get here!
