### Mead Davis Power Road
Mead Davis Power Road is a rocky, dusty, sandy, rutted, washed-out road. Some sections require a short wheelbase high clearance vehicle, otherwise, its an easy road 4x4 is mandatory. There is a chance for water crossings when in the rainy seasons and flash floods. The road runs through both Lake Mead National Recreation Area and the Bureau of Land Management Government Lands. This area is a limited-use area, and camping is only allowed in approved areas, offroad use is not allowed unless on a designated route. The road ends at a sign which says road closed, there is no water access, please turn around do not proceed past the sign, therefor, we will make a right turn onto:
### Mead Davis Powerline Road
The first half of the trail is hard pack dirt with rutted areas and uneven grades, single-car wide. The second half of the trail is washes with two-car wide areas most of the way and single-car wide as you get closer to the lake. Large boulders are in the wash so if you are in the dust drive carefully.
### Christmas Tree Pass
Christmas Tree Pass is a fun, dirt road adventure in the hills above the Colorado River on the Arizona/Nevada border. It is named for a tree on the trail that is decorated with Christmas ornaments. This is a relatively easy drive, with the occasional need for 4Low on the east section when the sand is soft. There are numerous viewpoints with beautiful regional desert vistas. This is rattlesnake territory, so take caution.
