Free Hack For Utah Adventure Seeking Travelers To Las Vegas Through Logandale

Like you, we often find ourselves on the stretch of I-15 between St. George and Las Vegas. One day we were running a little early, the weather was nice and we had the rare situation where we weren't in a hurry to get to the next thing. So, I decided to take the longer, more beautiful drive on the back road through Logandale.

We wound our way through picturesque Logandale—some of us enjoying ourselves, some of us were worried because we weren't familiar with this stretch of road. I was having fun reassuring everyone that this was going to be great. Just as we settled into the fact that I was going to follow through with my plan, the worst blockade appeared in our way.

It was a barrier that is insurmountable—a blockade that would stop anyone in their tracks. Like a beast from the depths of fantasy novel, or the realization that you, a commoner, have fallen in love with a royal in a romantic film, there was just no way around it. It was a ranger booth for the Lake Mead National Recreation Area.

You can see the impassability of this in my mind. They could have wanted to know where I was going, informed me the park was closed, or worst of all, asked for money. Before I even approached the hazard, I did a U-turn and headed defeated back to the familiar tracks of the interstate. By this time our hunting party had decided the vistas would have been savory on our new course and the mood was one of defeat.

Well, here is the good news for you adventure hounds: in an incredibly hard-to-believe twist of fate, I learned—after discussing our plans with a native of Logandale—that the ranger station is not staffed. That's right you can pass without having to part with any of your road snack budget. OK, on the sad side note I could have just paid, even if there were someone in the booth, but who would do that? I was also told that even if the booth has someone in it, you can pass for free if you explain you are passing through to Las Vegas.

The drive is beautiful I am told, the traffic light and the delay slight. So, take a chance next time your headed that way and turn off at Logandale and enjoy route 169/167 to Las Vegas.
