Leave the parking lot to the left and go into the gully.

You can see the bridge that crosses the Colorado River near the Hoover Dam.

There's a dirt road to follow for a bit, which then disappears.

Short section of narrows.



The wash goes into a gorgeous narrow section.



A dead-end, unless you have a rope. I didn't. Plus, I don't think there's a way back up without ascending the rope.

A side trail before the previous narrows that takes you over the hills.

Looking down toward the previous narrows with the dead-end. Not sure what's down there?

Across the Colorado River, you can see people at the Gold strike Hot Springs Canyon.

Continuing south higher up along the Colorado River.

Looking down into the Lone Palm Canyon.

There's some graffiti that labels this concrete blockade Stoney Falls.

From the manmade falls, headed toward the Hot Springs.



Nearby Palm Trees.

Headed up Lone Palm Canyon, looking back toward the Colorado River.


Leaving the canyon and entering a wash.



A random, colorful dryfall that can be easily passed.

Liberty Bell Arch in the distance as you traverse the hills to enter Lost Man Canyon.

The start of Lost Man Canyon.









Looking down into Lost Man Canyon toward the Colorado River.

A particularly sketchy dryfall obstacle that can be bypassed. I didn't realize there was a bypass until after coming down.


Looking toward the Lost Man Hot Springs.


Lost Man Hot Springs.


Rafters across the way at Boy Scout Canyon.

After coming out of Lost Man Canyon, I took the left wash here to continue back to complete the loop. Liberty Bell Arch on the right.

Looking back into Lost Man Canyon.

The hilly landscape. The bridge over the Hoover Dam is in the distance.



A big red amphitheater unlike any of the rock I had seen all day.

From above the amphitheater looking back toward the little wash.


Little canyon to get to the top.

Once out of the canyon, headed back to the car.

You can't see it in this picture, but the road is on the right about a quarter mile away and parallels the route.

Back to the trailhead.
