Abstract From the south: From Henderson, Nevada, take Lake Mead Drive (Nevada 147). At 7.1 mi (11.4 km) east of U.S. 95, turn north onto Northshore Road and go 3.2 mi (5.1 km) to Lake Mead Boulevard. The site is 3.7 mi (6 km) north on Lake Mead Boulevard. From the north: From North Las Vegas, take Lake Mead Boulevard (also Nevada 147) east from 1–15. At 11.4 mi (18.3 km) from 1–15 a paved road from the east (left) intersects Nevada 147. Continue on 147 for 1.8 mi (2.9 km) to the site. The site is marked by the high-tension power line that crosses the road. Park along the side of the road or on the dirt roads that intersect the main road in this area.
