Lake Mead and its intricate shoreline dominate this desert landscape, where the waters of the Virgin Basin meet the dramatic geology of Boulder Canyon. Within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, the terrain is defined by complex ridges and peaks such as Pinto Ridge, Razorback Ridge, and Arch Mtn. Numerous coves provide natural inlets along the northern and southern banks, including Gordys Cove, Washing Well Cove, and Sidewinder Cove.
