The Hoover Dam is over 60 years old and contributes endless support for the surrounding areas. The Hoover Dam controls flooding of the Colorado River, helps the land around it stay moist and fertile, and provides energy for many homes and businesses within a certain vicinity.
Drive through the 900-year-old Joshua Tree Forest, which surrounds much of this high desert country. Joshua Trees are unique to the North American southwest and they thrive in the arid desert climate, so coming close to them is a rare and unique experience.

Dine on your choice of an indoor Hualapai Buffet at the Western Ranch or an authentic Cowboy Cookout at Guano Point.
