Adrenaline Mountain

Extreme Adventure Park

By: Burt & Dianne Davis / Our Vacation

Looking for something completely different?

Visit Adrenaline Mountain Extreme

Entertainment Complex in the desert outside of Goodsprings about

20 miles south of the LV Strip.

It is a 400 acre giant man-cave with many extreme activities in

one fantastic open air location. Beat the heat 2,500 feet higher than

the strip and 10 degrees cooler. It is fun and fascinating.

We spent an invigorating afternoon exploring this adult action park

with activities designed for excitement. We enjoyed a tour in an ATV -

Crash helmets required and an instructor or guide in the lead vehicle.

You can go to the peak of Mt. Potosi - famous because it is where

a plane carrying actress Carol Lombard crashed in 1942. Or you

could drive a Monster Truck on a course built specifically for these

huge vehicles.

The giant earth moving machine was a highlight. Fortunately, an

instructor lets you know which levers to operate on the truck’s huge

shovel. I lifted a car, dropped it, and crushed it!

We checked out the axe-throwing and archery ranges. The archery

bows are the same grade as those used in hunting.

Or try a crossbow. Throwing an axe at a target is a great way to

release frustrations.

There are more than 70 firearms ranging from simple Derringers to

high velocity machine guns. Many of the firearms are linked to famous

persons or events.

Choose Dirty Harry’s pistol, John Wayne’s revolver or the sub machine

gun used in the Valentine Day’s massacre. An expert instructor is on

hand and targets are up to 400 yards away from the climate controlled

trailer.

For a price, you can shoot at a car that contains an explosive device.

BAM! See a car blow up when someone hits the proper target.

The park includes an outdoor wedding chapel with a view of Mt.

Potosi and officiants on call. You can also book one or many of the

park’s activities. Details are found at www.adrenalinemountain.com.

Free transportation is provided from The Strip or the nearby famous

Pioneer Saloon.

Thanks to Dianne and Burt Davis who continue to travel the
