Powerline Wash Road is a short, dead-end spur road off Aztec Wash that travels a little over 1 mile down a washboard, rutty, and bumpy trail leading to a remote campsite along the Colorado River. Located near the town of Nelson and within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, this trail is easy and can be navigated by any high-clearance vehicle. Wet conditions could necessitate the need for 4wd. The campsite at the end of the trail lies under the high-voltage powerlines, which might not make for the most restful night's sleep.
