*Added the Boulder Bypass route from the Boulder City Chevron. This map for the second half of day 2 will bypass the Valley of Fire and get you in to Vegas earlier, if you choose.

From Jerome’s in Anaheim. Join us as we follow the Colorado River north through Parker, the Parker Dam, Lake Havasu and staying near the London Bridge for night #1. We’ll cruise by Topock Gorge and a Chapter favorite, Oatman, to see the donkeys! We’ll grab Route 66 through Kingman and then up to the Hoover Dam, wrapping around Lake Mead, through the Valley of Fire State Park ($15 entrance fee), and finishing up at Freemont Street for night #2. Thanks to the recent rain, the beautiful journey home through the Mohave National Preserve and across the desert should be breathtaking!
