                         Lake Mead Village 

                        280 Lakeshore Rd. Boulder City, Nevada 89005

                                  (702) 293-2540 FOR RESERVATIONS - TELL THEM YOU ARE WITH THE ROAMERS

 

There are 10 sites reserved, where we were last year. Cost is $474.60 with tax. There is a $25 fee for the National Park Service unless you have a pass. Call 702-293-2540 to make your reservation. Sites go fast so reserve ASAP. 

This is not the least expensive trip of the year but it is an awesome one. The Elks have their annual St. Patrick’s Day party, Boulder City is right around the corner, Henderson, Nv. Is a short drive and if you really want to gamble Railroad Pass Casino is even closer than Henderson. Also, of course, we will be close to Las Vegas. 

Tickets for the St. Patrick's Day party will be available soon. If you are interested in going please let me know and I will put you on the list. 

I am looking into a group dinner cruise on Lake Mead that takes you to Hoover Dam. 

 

UPDATE: We have reserved 10 sites. There is one remaining on the lake road. There may be others available elsewhere in the park. Note: Price does not include the fee to enter the National Park Service Entrance fee of $25.00. If you have your Senior Lifetime Pass that is all you need.  I will not be able to confirm dinner for St. Patricks Day at the Elk's Lodge until after the first of the year. 

 

UPDATE: THE ELKS WILL NOT BE HAVING A ST. PADDIE'S DAY PARTY BECAUSE BOULDER CITY HAS OTHER EVENTS PLANNED AND THEY DIDN'T WANT TO INTERFERE. 2/23/2026

APRIL 2026 ALAMO LAKE STATE PARK

For nature lovers, spring rains bring an abundance of wild flowers and the lake environment attracts a variety of wildlife year round, including waterfowl, foxes, coyotes, mule deer and wild burros. Stargazers are sure to enjoy the amazing views of the night sky, with the nearest city lights some 40 miles away.

The developed portion of Dead Horse Ranch State Park covers 423 acres. The 3,300 foot elevation accounts for the mild temperatures that are ideal for camping, mountain biking in the Coconino National Forest, hiking along the Verde River, canoeing, picnicking, fishing, or just wading in the cool water.
 
History of the Area
Dead Horse Ranch State Park is located adjacent to and across the Verde River from the community of Cottonwood. It is centrally located near several major population centers such as Flagstaff, Phoenix, and Prescott. When using Dead Horse Ranch as a base, one has a variety of attractions to visit, including: Jerome State Historic Park, Fort Verde State Historic Park, Red Rock State Park, Slide Rock State Park, Tuzigoot National Monument, Montezuma Castle and Well National Monuments, Oak Creek Canyon, Prescott National Forest, Coconino National Forest, and the popular towns of Sedona and Jerome.

How Dead Horse Ranch Got Its Name

The story of the park's name begins with the Ireys family, who came to Arizona from Minnesota in the late 1940s in search of a ranch to buy. At one of the ranches, they discovered a large dead horse lying by the road. After two days of viewing ranches, Dad Ireys asked the kids which ranch they liked the best. The kids said, The one with the dead horse, Dad! The Ireys family chose the name Dead Horse Ranch, and later, in 1973, when Arizona State Parks acquired the park, the Ireys made retaining the name a condition of sale.
