Goldstrike Hot Springs

Now that we are getting settled into our apartment and life in Las Vegas, we figured it was time to explore the area a little bit.  We took full advantage of Friday, my day off, and decided to go on a hike.  We found a place called Goldstrike Hat Springs about half an hour from us (near the Hoover Dam).  The reviews online said it was a bit strenuous, there were ropes to climb over huge boulders, but there were also hot springs along the way and the Colorado River at the end of the 6 mile, round trip hike.  So we set off with a picnic lunch in backpack and two bottles of water.  The area was so beautiful, so peaceful.  It was a wonderful day.  I can’t wait to see what we can do next Friday!

I'm supposed to walk...where?

4 hour hike: complete! Not without a few bumps and bruises.

We even made a little stop over to see the Hoover Dam.
