If you're tired of risking your life on busy valley streets just
to take a bike ride with the kids, the National Park Service says it has good
news. The loop will link to other valley trails including a multi-use trail system near Sunrise Mountain that stretches to the 2,400-acre Wetlands Park along Las Vegas Wash. When the trail is entirely finished, people also will be able to travel from Boulder City to Henderson and back again by trail. "It connects neighborhood to neighborhood," Holland said. "It doesn't just connect to federal land." The section now under construction begins at a trailhead overlooking Lake Mead at U.S. Highway 93 and Pacifica Way. It follows the lakeshore, then meanders west to Lake Las Vegas Parkway. Some other sections of the loop trail, including a portion to accommodate equestrian use near Henderson's Equestrian Park, are already complete. Holland said that section already gets about 100 visitors each day. The section under construction also will link to the historic railroad trail that leads to Hoover Dam. That portion should be complete in mid-October, Holland said. "That segment was used to get equipment to Hoover Dam when they were building it," he said. "You'll be able to bike to the dam." John Holman, chairman of the River Mountains Loop Trail
partnership, said the trail will be a good alternative for bicyclists and other
outdoor enthusiasts who are tired of fighting traffic.
