Needles and Topock

Needles is a welcome sight. The cool, willow-lined Colorado River flows through this fried but friendly little town, whispering under the bridge on Harbor Avenue. To the southeast on the Arizona side, the Needles, a ragged mountain range cresting at 2,353-foot Powell Peak, pokes at hard blue sky. Founded in 1883, Needles owes its existence to the railroad, highway tra-velers, and a nearby farming community to the north along the Arizona side. As the easternmost end of Southern California desert exploration, it offers a decidedly un-desert attraction: CANOEING through nearby Topock Gorge for a day. The gorge, part of HAVASU NATIONAL WILDLIFE REFUGE, begins at the Interstate 40. Canoeists meet outfitters on the river at MOABI REGIONAL PARK (locals call it Park Moabi; 11 miles southeast of Needles; 760/326-3831), then paddle downriver beneath a steel-strut bridge into a wild region of reddish cliffs, hidden coves, rush-lined backwaters, and a pictograph rock or two. The pickup point is on the Arizona side off Highway 95 at Castle Rock, north of Lake Havasu City (home of London Bridge and English Village). Contact JERKWATER CANOE AND KAYAK COMPANY (800/421-7803; WWW.jerkwatencom) for rental and guided-trip information.
The fictional Joad family camped for a while in Needles on their way west along "the Mother Road"—Route 66—in Steinbeck's The Grapes of Wrath. Here they debated how to get across the desert in their overloaded jalopies. "Gonna go 'crost her at night,'" says Ruthie, "... we get
the livin' Jesus burned outa us if we go in daylight." We hope your car is in better shape than theirs. MOJAVE DESERT INFORMATION CENTER (the National Park Service; 707 W Broadway; 760/326-6322) can help with local information, as can NEEDLES CHAMBER OF COMMERCE (100 G Street; 760/326- 2050). NEEDLES MUSEUM (on the city park at 929 Front Street; 760/326- 5678) will fill you in on local history. They're currently trying to restore
the old block-long Harvey House hotel and restaurant nearby, which served Santa Fe Railroad passengers before the days of the interstates. The two-story cement building, noted for its many columns, has been vacant for about a decade.
