Willow Beach Campground with a sliver of the Colorado River showing in upper right.
Pictures above and below were taken 180 degrees from each other. I climbed up to and onto the outcropping to take the shot above. The outcropping on which I was standing is the narrow mesa-like finger in the center of the picture below. The steps in the foreground, below, lead up to tent camping sites.
We were here 2 years ago at Christmas time with David and Elaine. This time, Tom & Louise joined the group. They all kayaked while I went to Costco and Total Wine in Henderson. Next day we rented a boat and headed upriver as far as we could. Was hoping to get views of Hoover Dam but that wasn't possible: hazardous waters and security barriers pulled us up a few miles short.
Just short of mile marker 60 (number of miles upriver from Davis Dam) we went ashore to see the hot springs. David and I hiked up a narrow slot canyon to view the springs but didn't get very far. The stream of warm water flowing from the springs came down through a sharp vee carved into the rock. Needed waterproof boots to continue.
