So if you were gonna drive...

[rivermobster]

From Big Bend to Park Moabi, which route would you take??

Thanks!

Driving what? Distance and time says over the dam and through LHC. If you want offroad fun, I'd go on the highline road towards the Landing. You would pass the road into Black Meadows and Havasu Palms on your right). You stay left.

Sorry. Definately NOT off-road. Just the normal highway route. Thanks.

this one

Big Bend National Park (U.S. National Park Service)

There is a place in Far West Texas where night skies are dark as coal and rivers carve temple-like canyons in ancient limestone. Here, at the end of the road, hundreds of bird species take refuge in a solitary mountain range surrounded by weather-beaten desert. Tenacious cactus bloom in sublime...

Uh, no.

The one across from Buckskin in Parker?? I'm gonna guess the Havasu Locals will probably know the Best route to take.

Thanks though!

You will save about 20 mins crossing the dam and going through havasu vs. Vidal junction to needles

The traffic going through Havasu won't make that big of a difference? It's freaking terrible out there these days (and yes, I was there 2 weeks ago).

Thanks.

Launch at Havasu springs, drive the boat up. No stops lights or snow birds

I'd go Vidal to Needles because I've never been that way.

Blythe might be closer for an edible run.

If I had time to kill I would go that way. Sadly I won't this trip. Gonna spend the day on Friday with family and friends camping there at Moabi. They have to head home Saturday. So it will be up and back on the same day.

The only way to get a Parkabilly outta Parker is med evac 'em out. Or the yearly sale at the Bullhead Piglly Wiggly.

Thanks!

From where I am, I go through Vidal. Not sure how much time it takes to get back to the bridge from Big Bend, but suspect it may be worth considering. It's a fairly barren road up to Needles.

That would depend on the time of day. If any night travel is required I'd take the Havasu route.

Don't forget the Dam closed at 11 pm.

LOL.. Thanks for the laugh I needed that.

Thanks Barry. It's maybe ten fifteen minutes till I'm heading north. But it's probably 20 min till I'll be at the Parker stop sign.

No traffic is Always good.

Good point. I have to remember that for the ride home.
