Arizona’s Best Kept Secret

Gateway to the Great Outdoors

 

 

A last frontier town with surprising adventures hidden by its rustic charm.  Dolan Springs has long been a quiet desert haven for snowbirds in winter and vacationers in summer.

 

Dolan Springs’ mild high desert weather is perfect for the many outdoor sports.  Explore one of the world’s largest Joshua tree forests and the Mt. Tipton Wilderness area; water sports of all types on Lake Mead, Mohave Lake and parts of the Colorado River; hiking, camping and horseback riding; searching for ghost towns & mines and ancient Native American rock drawings; gold prospecting, and many other adventures are available in this area.   We also have a several geocache hidden in our area for treasure hunters of the “modern” type.

 

The desert area, surrounding Dolan Springs, is abundant with wild life and plant life.  Hike our 8 miles of scenic trails (www.dolanspringstrails.com) and bring your camera to photograph spectacular sunrises, sunsets, flowers, cacti and animals in their natural habitat. The absence of light pollution allows spectacular views of the night skies for star gazers. Bring your camera and photograph spectacular sunrises, sunsets, flowers, cacti and animals in their natural habitat.   The absence of light pollution allows spectacular views of the night skies for star gazers.

 

While you’re in the area, don’t forget that we are just a few miles from the Grand Canyon West, where you can walk out on the glass Sky Walk, and admire the Canyon the way the eagles do.  On your way to the Sky Walk, you will drive through our small community, and the Joshua tree forest, seeing wonderful rock formations and traveling in an area that was once home for gold miners and ancient tribes of Native Americans.

 

To find us, travel north from Kingman or south from Las Vegas, on highway 93.  At mile marker 42, turn east.  Our community is about 5 miles east of the highway on Scenic Route 25 (aka Pierce Ferry Road).   Please stop into the Chamber of Commerce building, sign our guest book and get more information about sights and adventures available in our area.
