The
River Mountains Loop Trail is Nevada's first endeavor of its kind.
Constructed through a combined effort of many of Nevada's resource
management agencies, private land owners and citizens, this non-motorized trail
will provide Nevada residents with an outdoor recreation area offering
scenic views, plentiful wildlife and the vast beauty only the Mojave
can offer.
When completed, the River
Mountains Loop Trail will be approximately 35 miles in length and
will surround the River Mountains
connecting Lake
Mead National Recreation Area, Hoover Dam, Henderson,
Boulder City and the rest of the Las Vegas
Valley, expanding recreational and alternative transportation opportunities
for the region's growing population.
To
better accommodate outdoor enthusiasts, throughout the trail,
you'll find segments 24 feet in width, including a twelve foot paved
trail for hikers and road cyclists, a second trail for equestrian
use and a third trail for mountain bikers.
While
anticipated completion of the River Mountains Loop Trail is currently
2007, individual segments will be dedicated each year and are available
for public use.
We invite the community
to use the River Mountains Loop Trail at your leisure and hope you'll
have a safe and memorable experience as you enjoy this new addition
to our unique desert environment. |
