Gold Butte National Monument is sandwiched between the Lake Mead National Recreation Area and the Grand Canyon Parashant National Monument. Take this opportunity to learn a little more about GBNM’s neighbor to the West.

Anna Blalock, a desert transplant originally from Georgia, has spent the last three years getting to know Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Most recently, she has been doing a year of service through AmeriCorps as a Community Volunteer Ambassador for the park. Bridging the gap between Lake Mead and its gateway communities, Anna works to coordinate and manage volunteer events. Join Anna and the
Friends of Gold Butte for a deeper dive to learn more about Lake Mead National Recreation Area, including its history, recreation opportunities, and a few notes about safety.
