Well, like everyone else, I wonder about all sorts of things.
Something that is really puzzling to me is why the River Mountain Loop Trail is not busier.
I hit this trail at least a couple times a week, and enjoy the paved trail, as well as the many mountain bike trails.
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.
Currently with 32 miles of usable trail, when fully 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 2010, 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.
