The park as laid out is easily seen in 2 hours by car and the legal hiking areas require a half day if you do everything that is not fenced off. If the visitors center has parking, the place is a good place to get water (You can refill water canisters just inside the front door) and go to the bathroom. If you can’t find parking, it is not worth circling multiple time until a spot opens, the place is not that informative.Drive up the roads in the park, if my memory serves me right there are four, and everything is well-marked. We went back to Las Vegas via Lake Mead Hwy. to lake Mead Blvd.

Quit hungry, we spot Las Vegas on the horizon. Now, there is but one destination “Smash Burger”. If your one of those ecological activist, don’t go to Smash Burger They make the world’s best grease dripping down your arms and legs burgers allowed by law. Their Smash fries have even more grease with a hint of Oregano so you will not die of scurvy. I hear they could not cook for an ecological types cause they are most vegetarians, and vegetarian food in a place like this is about as exciting as eating bark.
Last interesting note of the day, that truck pulled out of a place that makes sheet rock, never seen a sheet rock factory before. The sheet rock must be heavy too, it took all night to get off this hill.
Good Evening and Good Night…..
