The byway offers chances to see petroglyphs, colorful sandstone, and great formations like the Muddy Mountains or the Virgin Mountains along the way. The byway is near the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, which makes it a fun location for the whole family. Discover all the exciting places to visit within just a few hours of driving distance.
