Embarking on a River Adventure
Las Vegas in spring offers outdoor excitement far removed from the neon buzz of the Strip. Kayaking the tranquil Colorado River near the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge is both an outdoor excursion and a paddle through history and engineering.
The Bridge with a Story
Dedicated in 2010, the Mike O’Callaghan-Pat Tillman Memorial Bridge honors former Nevada Governor and Korean War veteran Mike O’Callaghan and Pat Tillman, the NFL player who entered Army service after 9/11. One of the highest and most spectacular bridges in the United States, it is a monument to courage and dedication.
Immersed in Natural Splendor
As you navigate the Colorado River beneath the bridge, Black Canyon’s towering cliffs and ancient rock formations surround you. Its tranquil flow carries paddlers into a pristine wilderness.
