Historically, Pierce Ferry Road, the main artery to these three communities, was the original Mormon trail used by the pioneers on their way west. The grand wash cliffs, one of the largest mountain ranges in the west, extends from southern Utah to old route 66 just south of this area. This mountain range was an extensively used trade route by the Piaute and Anasazi Indian tribes. Springs are dotted through the area with elevations ranging from 3000 feet to 8000 feet. These communities are surrounded by the Grand Canyon national park, the Lake Mead national recreation area and the Mohave national recreation area. |

spectacular. Rising from the high desert floor is the spectacular

red. The air is clean and clear year round. The water is the best in the
western united states, untreated and pure, pumped from deep wells, or
delivered to your tank at a very reasonable cost. |
