Desert Princess

After we finished up at Hoover Dam we went down to Lake Mead. We looked a little online and I was bummed to not find a kayak or canoe rental...you could launch your own, but we certainly didn’t bring one on the plane Fromm illinois, lol! Instead we opted for a lake cruise on a paddle boat. She was named the Desert Princess and reminded me so much of the Becky Thatcher or Tom Sawyer paddleboats down in St. Louis that Cruise the Mississippi.

We stayed up on the top deck for most of the cruise. They talked about the history of the land. The white line on the rocks is so high from when the river swelled and flooded in the early 2000’s. They said currently the lake was down about 20 feet. It gave fantastic views of the shoreline around Lake Mead and of course of Hoover Dam. Definitely time well spent. We were in awe of the enormous house boats lined up at the marina. Maybe someday.
