Directions:

• Follow the trail on the left side of the parking lot, staying close to the road. There is a sign at Elephant Rock, which is right near the road. Return the same way.

A short walk next to the entrance station. It takes you to a rock formation that some see as an elephant. You can actually do this as a loop trail, but it was getting close to sunset (4:35 pm!), so I just hiked to the elephant and back.

Do you see an elephant?

The park is right next to Lake Mead National Recreation Area
