61.34 Nevada: Boulder City: Lake Mead: Complementary Scenes to a former Cover Photograph.

  The following pictures are representative of some scenes viewed from the peaks of Red Mountain, Black Mountain and along the journey. This region is truly remarkable which will become even more apparent when we complete the full updates. We mention this praise most times as we are in awe constantly; or how can one not pay tribute to nature's magnificence.

Lava Butte: A couple of blogs earlier, we showed a close-up of our reaching this unusual peak. 

 A small section of the overpowering Lake Mead.
Jen shows the importance of always going up in life as the real climb begins.
Fortification Hill is the prominent mountain, water laps its shore.

"You take our breath away...in more ways than one."
Looking toward the 'village people'.
Mount Charleston at rear, Las Vegas below and well before it.

Cheers,
