Volcanic ash that is 12 million years old, sunken ships and towns from a bygone era make their way to the surface as Lake Mead recedes.
, after the war, the Higgins craft was used to survey the Colorado River before it was sold to a marina and then sunk. Before the sharp water level drop, the ship was once a great site to scuba dive.was once a Native American settlement. In 1865, Mormon settlers moved into the area and established St. Thomas. However, upon discovering they had not settled in Utah, they moved on from St. Thomas, burning their homes and abandoning their crops as they left.
New settlers moved in around the 1880s and rebuilt the town, adding a hotel, post office and school. The population peaked at around 500 people, however as the Hoover Dam project broke ground in 1931, St. Thomas residents were told to relocate. The government provided compensation for their move and the last residents left in 1938. Eventually, St. Thomas was swallowed under 60 feet of water. Due to fluctuating water levels, in 2002 the ghost town was above the surface again and hikers can walk around the ruins of St. Thomas to this day.
