Lake Mead railroad trail

So the family woke up as early as we could and headed out toward Boulder City. I’ve been wanting to try out a bike trail that went though some old abandoned railroad tracks that have since been converted to a multi-use trail. More history about it here. In total it was about 6 miles round trip.

I was lugging Edison in the bicycle trailer and the incline was bearable. I don’t think I’ve biked since Dar’s birthday. I do recommend you have knobby treads as it helped immensely. Careful on this trail as there are no rails and steep drops on the side of the mountain.

I give this trail 2 thumbs up for the recreational rider for the gradual incline, the interesting tunnels and the history associated with the trail. You also get to see the Lake Mead marina. We topped it off by stopping by the Coffe Cup Cafe, chowing down on a pork chili verde omlette. Good stuff.
