Nevada’s River Mountains Loop Trail | May 2023 Trail of the Month

A few miles into the 12-foot-wide trail, towering snowcapped Spring Mountains to the northwest dwarf the Vegas Strip’s cityscape. Since 2012, it’s...Work on the Boulder City railroad linear trail head. How exciting!!
Used to ride this all the time when I lived in Vegas🚴♀️🚴♀️
We rode the trail Sunday, May 7,2023. The entire loop. All 34 miles, no closures, No detours. It was a beautiful day on the trail!😎🚲☀️ There were so many riders, mostly on the Henderson side.
What are they building?
Is the construction completed?
Is the trail open now???
The River Mountain Loop Trail project is about to start construction. The trail will be closed from April 3rd at 8:00am- July 30th at 5:00pm for repair and resurfacing maintenance.
The maintenance work will begin at MM 11.5 on NPS land; however, part of the trail that falls onto the City of Henderson jurisdiction will be closed in order to redirect traffic onto the Lakeshore Road detour route.

the link to google maps does not work. I've tried several times on different devices and get an invalid error message each time. just to be clear, is there a detour or is part of the loop closed? if so, which miles as per mile marker signs?
Wow I had no idea this was happening. I got to ride it just in time 👍🏻 Thanks for such a great trail!
Just please DO NO use asphalt Slurry after 2 yrs that will be like riding the Cobbles of Roubaix
Love it! Just hope it’s a proper fix and not just filling cracks with slurry. Such a beautiful trail that needs rehab so it’s not a bunny hop fest. Thank you.
Oh great. Now the cone zone that covers nearly every road in the LV Valley now extends to bike trails. That's a mighty long time to close a popular bike route.
The link doesn’t work.
Interesting that a 3.8-mile grand prix F1 road race surface will be repaved in 5 weeks or so and fixing cracks along a three-mile stretch of trail takes nearly four months.
your link goes to an error code
Looks like more than 3 miles to me
As of yesterday, 4-30, the trail is still wide open.
Woohooo! Look at this, they’re finally fixing it. That area where I blew my tire out 😆 Amanda Ringer
Good let’s maintain this gem.
I planned my vacation around riding the loop
So the entire trail isn't shut down just 3 miles of it ? I'm coming there in 8 days

So the next question is how safe is Lake Shore Rd? Will there be bike detour signage?
I
I rode 20.5 to 14 yesterday. It was open. Should be no need to shut off sections if they are not actively being worked.
4-21-2023 The trail is not closed. I just rode it and there is not one shovel, not one truck, not one worker.
Our charity cycling event is still happening on the RML Trail this Saturday, I just confirmed with Lake Mead that we can still use the trail. Come ride it with us on Saturday morning and support people in NV living with inheritable blood disorders! fb.me/e/3gwAhW0OM
Fyi......Trail news.

Full development of the HRT to Boulder City was a precursor to RMLT planning and development. This included opening of tunnel #5 which had been closed for years.
i ride my bike that would be so much fun.
Anyone know what all the helicopter activity is off McCullough Hill Trail on back side of Black Mountain???
They're doing water main construction. I live near there and was notified about the project.
Probably dropping construction materials to one of those mega mansions in the hill
Looks like a recovery or a rescue. Its been happening for a couple of hours.
Big thanks to all the volunteers who came out to clean up the trail on Saturday at Railroad Pass! Lots of trash was removed and the trail looks much better!
i didnt get the f.b notice..
I'd like more info for when you guys do a cleanup.
Thanks everyone. I’ve been on the trail many times and it always looks so clean. What kind of trash do you find? Is the trash coming from the casino?
Thanks Thanks Thanks. As a cyclist I occasional stop and kick large rocks off the pavement but i don’t pick up trash. Too bad the “walkers” can’t help keep the rocks off when they come across them.
Thank you all volunteers. That area gets alot of trash blown in from freeway etc.

Construction on the 1.5-mile bicycle path next to the Hemenway […]I was able to ride this section for the first time a few weeks ago as part of my RMLT loop. It is fabulous!!! No more riding in the channel. 🎉👍🙏

I’ve been riding it since it opened.
