Hot, Hot, Hot

Bullhead City has a desert Climate and only gets a few inches of rain every year. This is definitely the place for people who can’t stand the cold. If you like it hot, hot, hot, you’ll love it here. In the summer, it’s actually one of the hottest cities in the United States, breaking thermometers left and right with highs of up to 125 degrees, Fahrenheit. Wow! That is hot.

With all that heat, Lake Mojave and the Colorado River are a welcome relief for the residents of Bullhead City. Here, they can fish, boat, swim, slide, and even find some slightly unexpected adventurous water fun like white water rafting, kayaking, and even scuba diving. Scuba diving in the desert? Who ‘da thunk it? There are plenty of ways to enjoy the great outdoors in Bullhead City with hundreds of acres of parks and many trails for hiking, biking, and horseback riding. The desert here is a playground!

Here’s an interesting factoid: Bullhead City used to be the site of another town called, Hardyville, after a man named William Hardy who was from New York and raised Angora goats. You might not think too much of a desert-dwelling goat farmer but Hardy was actually the second richest man in Arizona (we’re pretty sure he arrived in town with the money and that goat farming was more of an eccentric hobby). Hardy was actually the postmaster, country supervisor, and a member of the Arizona Territorial Legislature during his stint in Hardyville. He also established the ferry service across the Colorado River, helping to bring settlers and supplies into the area. He was definitely a multi-tasker! Despite the work Hardy put into his town, Hardyville wound up a ghost town. Renters in Bullhead City can still visit remnants of this past town, including a small cemetery. If you would like to find out more about this town’s interesting history, a great place to start is the Colorado River Museum and Historical Society. There, you can get more juicy tidbits and check out some Native American artifacts and other cool historical items like the first slot machines. (Cha-ching!)

Speaking of slot machines, the Mojave Indian Tribe owns a large portion of land out here and operates two casinos, one full-service hotel, and the Mojave Resort PGA Championship Golf Course.

In terms of ways to get out and meet the neighbors, Bullhead City is home to four public libraries that offer a range of activities for everyone in the family. The city also hosts some great special events every year including the River Regatta, Hardyville Days, Riverfest, Cornfest, and the Chile Cook-Off. The Colorado River Concert Association brings fun to Bullhead and its surrounding communities by organizing live performances throughout the year.
