Blue Point and Rogers Springs

Blue Point Spring and Rogers Spring are between Overton Beach and Echo Bay. The first one, Blue Point, can be found by walking up the stream to its source, about a quarter mile from the parking lot. The water comes right out of the rocks, into a small gaging station, and then down a little gully to Lake Mead - about 2 miles away. Palm trees grow all along the waterway. The water is warm, too - these are both thermal springs. Rogers Spring is much larger, and there's a pond that flows out under a small bridge and then down to the lake.

Great pics. I've been out that way a few times, but not in weather nice enough to hike. We went to Valley of Fire last May and it was already over 100 degrees. I didn't know about Blue Point or Rogers Springs, I'll have to remember them.
