Camera…….Action…..On the trail this spring

March 19, 2010 –  By tomorrow winter is over and spring is here.  Get your camera’s out and hit the trail.  With the wet winter, well over 3″ of rain, our desert trail will look like a trail through green fields.  Well at least for the next month or two. Wild flowers and wild life should be abundant.  And remember, Henderson has a photo contest each fall during National Trails Day for the best trail photos taken in Henderson.  I’ll be out this weekend with my camera and hopefully next week I can post a few green photos here to prove my point.

You can ride your bike, but I prefer to walk/hike it that way you would miss anything….Tortoise will be out soon and so will snakes so watch out.  I got a great photo last fall of a brown Tarantula on the trail; spring last year several tortoise photos.  Other friends have photos of big horn sheep on trail etc.

Love our trail!

Love our trail!🎙️ New Podcast Episode Alert 🚨

Ever wondered what it takes to maintain 34 miles of paved paradise? 🌵

In this episode of The Best Dam Podcast, Howard is joined by Paul Grube, President of the River Mountains Loop Trail Partnership. Paul takes us behind the scenes of one of Southern Nevada’s most beloved outdoor assets—the River Mountains Loop Trail.

www.bouldercitychamber.com/connecting-communities-34-miles-of-cycling-hiking-and-history-on-the-r...

From its "happy hour" beginnings in the late '90s to becoming a world-class 34-mile loop connecting Boulder City, Henderson, and Lake Mead, this trail is a testament to community vision.

Highlights include:

🐢 The funny story of the "moving rock" (spoiler: it was a tortoise!).
🐑 Tips for spotting bighorn sheep and other local wildlife.
🛠️ How the Partnership acts as the "eyes and ears" to keep the trail safe.
🚲 Why you don’t even need your own bike to get started.

Whether you’re a hardcore cyclist or just love a morning stroll, you won’t want to miss Paul’s insights on this local treasure! ☀️
