Chris and Dave head out on a new adventure at Lake Mead, Bootleg Canyon and Gold Butte.
Episode 408 – Boulder City to Mesquite:
Back in an earlier season of the series, Chris and Dave visited the Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail in Boulder City but couldn’t finish it because the trail wasn’t complete. Now, in Season 4, the crew returns to finish the trail and reach its destination, Hoover Dam. Then, in Boulder City, Chris and Dave take a turn at the Flightlinez zip line tour at Bootleg Canyon. After traveling to Mesquite for the night, they set out to enjoy some of the newly designated areas of Gold Butte National Monument. Chris and Dave had heard that there is nothing quite like Little Finland, and the incredible scenery on display at the locale proves it. The episode's journey ends at the town site of Gold Butte, which gave the National Monument its name.
