On 01/31/2018 Bob Croke, Harvey Smith and I decided to walk along the Las Vegas Wash from the Terrazza Park. The Las Vegas Wash is a 12-mile-long channel which feeds most of the Las Vegas Valley's excess water into Lake Mead. The Las Vegas Wash is the vital channel through which the Las Vegas Valley's excess water returns to Lake Mead at Las Vegas Bay. Because erosion is perhaps the greatest threat to the Las Vegas Wash, the city has dealt with the problem by placing erosion control structures (which are also known as weirs) throughout the Wash. You get to observe several of these "weirs" as you make this hike along the wash. Click here for pictures and learn more about the wash ...
