Riverwalk Exploration Trail

Posted on February 28, 2021March 26, 2022 by Lisa

After deciding not to boulder climb Grapevine Canyon, hiked 9 miles of the Riverwalk Exploration Trail – Colorado River, Davis Dam, Lake Mojave, and Desert Trail. Very windy day! Back at camp, tired yet happy and relaxed. Ah…! 🙂

Hanging out at Big Bend of the Colorado River State Park for a couple of days. Quickest plug in, water fill, and tank dump so far! Definitely getting the hang of this.  🙂
