Lake Mead Series: Seven Dry Falls, Cholla Forest & Bacon Canyon Loop

Please answer both questions when you RSVP:
Q1. What is your cell number?
Q2. We will form carpools at Von's based on whether you are staying after the hike to eat at Vinny's Little Italy in Boulder City or going straight back to Von's. Be ready with your decision when we meetup. Do you understand?

Please read the entire description. New participants will be required to sign a Waiver similar to the Disclaimer below.

📌 The dry falls and canyons provide fun and challenging obstacles with some exposure, and the rocks resemble a painter's palette of colors. We will also visit the Teddy Bear Cholla Forest or cactus garden which is a unique highlight of this adventure! But beware, if you venture into the cactus garden, I recommend bringing pliers and/or tweezers.
