We had planned to go home on Sunday not realizing that the fireworks show was scheduled for that night too. Since we were staying we decided to explore the hiking trails that were right across the street from where we were camped. The trail we took followed a wash down to the Colorado River (Lake Havasu held by Parker Dam) and it went through a lot of rock and made for some very scenic views and some shade from the sun. We didn’t make it to the river this time – next year – because we were not prepared. We did walk a little over a mile toward the river but needed another mile-plus to make it there. The soft sand and occasional bad footing made it take over an hour to cover that mile so we turned around. We had to be awake and alert for those fireworks that night.
