Natural Features and SceneryLake Mead dominates the view here, its blue water cutting through the surrounding Mojave Desert landscape. The area has layered sedimentary rock and volcanic formations that record millions of years of geological activity. Ancient seas, fossilized sand dunes, and lava flows. Reviewers mention spectacular views and memorable sunrises. Wild donkeys sometimes wander through camp. Valley of Fire State Park sits nearby, displaying some of the Southwest's most vivid red rock scenery. The setting is equal parts water and stone, with the desert extending in all directions.
