      Hike the Summit of Black Mountain

      4.5
      6.75 mi / 1910 ft gain
      This hike is cool because you park in a residential area and follow the (paved) anthem east trail for about 3/4 of a mile before you hit dirt. Once you do though you start to climb quickly and every time you turn around the view gets better. I recommend and afternoon hike that would let you catch...

      Camp at Boxcar Cove

      0 mi / 0 ft gain
      The shoreline of "Lake" Mead is what you would expect of a large, man-made reservoir with fluctuating water levels (muddy & unpleasant), but that is not to say that the Lake Mead National Recreation Area is not filled with incredible places to explore (it is), and Boxcar Cove is a solid spot ...

      PWC Beach in Lake Mead National Recreation Area

      4.3

      The first mile is flat and deceivingly easy as you walk under a highway bridge and in between looming canyon walls.
