Nevada’s El Dorado Wilderness is located along the Colorado River South of Las Vegas. It’s a stark, volcanic terrain of rocks, boulders, hills peaks and canyons. As you’re driving down Highway 165, the main road through the wilderness, the terrain looks flat and boring. However, within a short walk from the highway the terrain suddenly descends into a series of canyons and ridges that become more pronounced as you approach the Colorado River. Prepare to be irresistably drawn into this alluring landscape.
But bring a good supply of water! It’s a desert environment, best visited during the Winter months. Summer months can bring temperatures easily approaching 120 degrees! And bring protective clothing. The terrain is populated with needle-sharp cacti and yucca plants and the volcanic surface has the consistency of a cheese grater! Should you slip on the loose rock slopes, there are no soft landings!
