Best Place to Ride a Bike in Las Vegas

We made it…..The Review-Journal’s  2011 Best of Las Vegas  “Best Place to Ride a Bike”  R.J.’s choice.   They didn’t list the entire trail, but that is probably because the writer-rider hasn’t ridden the entire trail system as yet.  I concur with this selection from Railroad Pass east to Boulder City as it has much to look at from a views point-of-view; plus you have the historic train rides on the weekend to look forward too.

You will also see that the River Mountain Trail is selected as “Best Place to Hike”; this  is actually a different trail but shares a trail-head in Boulder City. This trail was built by the (C.C.C.) Civilian Conservation Corp. circa 1934 -1936 and is a six mile round trip hike to the top of Red Mountain in the River Mountains.  You will find a more detailed write up elsewhere in this BLOG.
