A look at the Journey from Las Vegas Nevada to Willow Beach, Arizona:
Getting to Willow Beach from Las Vegas is a breeze when you choose RiverDogz as your guide. We offer convenient hotel pickup, allowing you to sit back and relax as you embark on a scenic drive through historic Boulder City. As you leave the glitz and glamour of the Las Vegas Strip behind, you’ll find yourself surrounded by the captivating desert landscape that leads to Willow Beach.
If you elect to drive to Willow Beach yourself, after the tour, we recommend making a pit stop at Hemenway Park, located in Boulder City. Here, you’ll have the opportunity to witness the magnificent Bighorn sheep away from their natural habitat. These majestic creatures are a sight to behold and add an extra touch of wildlife excitement to your Emerald Cove adventure. You’ll see locals going about their day at the park filled with Bighorn sheep as they come down from the mountains to graze on the fresh green grass.
As you continue your journey, keep an eye out for the Hoover Bypass, an engineering marvel that will captivate your imagination. This impressive structure is North America’s largest concrete arch bridge, towering over the Colorado River. Take a moment to appreciate its grandeur and snap some photos to commemorate your visit.

The journey to Emerald Cove:

The play of light and shadow creates a surreal atmosphere that will leave you in awe.
But the adventure doesn’t stop there. The Colorado River offers a multitude of other delights to discover. Marvel at the towering cliffs and rugged rock formations that surround you, providing a dramatic backdrop for your kayaking journey.
