Since Travis & I are pretty much limited in our traveling with him being in rotations, instead of going up to Utah with friends to go skiing, we had to stay here and decided to go 4-wheeling exploring. We took Gold Strike Pass, a road neither of us had ever been on. It's about 2 miles from Hoover Dam and also connects to the east side of Boulder City. It was the usual scenery along most of the pass as far as the desert goes, but there were some great views of Lake Mead, Hoover Dam and the new bridge, Black Canyon, and a bunch of big horn sheep! It was a nice little excursion and we even found a few other things to go back and check out later. :)
Lake Mead right before Hoover Dam
Lake Mead at Boulder Bay. The black square in the foreground use to be the parking lot which was right next to the water's edge. The bridge use to be at the water's height.
Hoover Dam & the new bridge. Almost done-just adding the road on top.
The bigger bighorn sheep that we saw.
Black Canyon. Somewhere down in between all those ridges lies the Colorado River below the Hoover Dam.
