This backyard is about a mile from the lake and backs up to a wash. It has a great 360 degree view. The wash provides just wonderful natural desert landscaping and gives the backyard a wide open to the desert feeling. 

Crows nest deck view of the city, lake and  Sonoran desert looking towards Havasu Landing, California

The crows nest is a  great place to have dinner and watch the sun set. Lake Havasu has great sunsets and this is a great place to watch them from.

Below set. is of an observation platform overlooking the wash - a great place for a cup of coffee on a winter morning.
