A historic river-port in the days of steamboats and wild rivers, Ehrenberg still combines the feel of the Old West with the excitement of the river. Water sports of all kinds are popular on the famed Colorado River as it flows southward past the city. Nearby is the sprawling Colorado River Indian Reservation, shared by members of the Mohave, Chemehuevi, Hopi and Navajo tribes. The tribal museum is a popular stop. The annual Quartzsite Pow Wow Gem and Mineral Show in February is a must for rock hounds.
