the Desert Bar

The road to the Desert Bar is an unmarked dirt road off US 95 about ten miles north of Parker, AZ. We drove past but Debbie spotted it as we went by and we turned around and started up approximately five miles of rough road.


Toward the end of the road is the Desert Bar. You can just see the bar in the distance. Look for what looks like a couple of white towers against a grey background. Just a little right of center.


We arrived and parked in the parking lot across from the bar. You use a covered walk way to cross over the wash which is also part of the bar.


What are all these people doing here? How did they find it and why did they suffer over the washboard road all the way up here.


Looking down from the bridge into the wash. As you can see a lot of cowboys brought their horses with them.

At the end of the bridge we were met by a long line up to the bar. Those people are all standing in line and this is only the front half!

We met Stan and Pat who said they would be here. Some of their group four-wheeled across the open land from Quartzsite to the bar. They had a tough time. Their route required winching and some fender scrapes. I thought the dirt road was long and bad! I have some more pictures and I'll post the rest tomorrow. We plan on sewing and watching the football playoffs tomorrow.
