Take the wheel and explore a less-visited arm of Lake Mead in a guided Bronco off-road tour. This 4–5 hour experience blends hands-on driving, desert geology, and a relaxed picnic lunch while guiding you through sandy washes and scenic viewpoints.
More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
You roll past a low ridge and the desert opens: a broad wash of sand and pale rock, the Bronco’s tires sending up soft curtains of dust. The air is dry and bright; creosote shrubs needle at the horizon and the distant shimmer of Lake Mead pulls the line of the landscape together.

History
Lake Mead’s shoreline and washes were dramatically reshaped after Hoover Dam was completed in the 1930s; the area also has long-standing Indigenous and ranching histories.
Conservation
Stay on designated washes and follow guide instructions—off-road driving concentrates impacts, so adherence to routes and packing out waste helps protect fragile desert soils.
