This Nevada trail runs from the Lake
Mead Visitor center to the Hoover Dam visitor center. It follows the route of a
railroad built specifically to haul supplies to the Hoover Dam construction
site as it was being built. The trail has several nice overlooks to view Lake
Mead and it has five tunnels. The hard pack gravel surface is an easy ride. Its
short 3.7 mile length does not seem attractive to biking but the historic value
along with a connection to the much longer Mountain Loop Trail can make for a
very enjoyable visit. One cautionary note, this is in a desert region. I would avoid
this in the summer. It can get very hot. No matter when you go be sure to bring
plenty of water.
