Desert Big Horn Sheep use the trail, too…

The River Mountains Loop Trail is home to many users groups. The oldest users were here long before the trail was dreamed of.  The photos below were provided courtesy of Paul Grebe, Green Valley Cyclist and a RMLT member. Photos were taken November 24th around milepost #15. These three Rams have seen some years as the horns are nearing full curl.  There have been reports of other sightings along the trail by other users.

The Nevada Division of State Parks, in partnership with the Nevada Division of Outdoor Recreation, is developing Nevada’s first-ever Statewide Trails Plan—and they’re asking for your input.

This plan will guide future trail development, access, and management statewide, supporting activities like walking and hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and off-highway vehicle (OHV) use. Your feedback—especially from communities historically underrepresented in planning—will help identify opportunities to connect neighborhoods, improve existing trails, expand equitable access, and protect Nevada’s natural resources.

The survey is open through November 30, 2026. Please share with your networks and encourage residents and visitors to participate: Links in the comments.
