Hello All,
We have been getting a lot of inquiries on when cracks and other issues on the trail will be addressed by our partners at City of Henderson, Boulder City and Lake Mead NRA.
I'm happy to announce that I've been in contact with all three partners and they are all in the process of programming funding to get these issues taken care of.
Lake Mead will prioritize cracks between mile markers 12 and 14 and also cracks outside that area.
Henderson will adress cracks on the segment between tunnel 1 and 2 along Lake Mead Parkway. (Henderson crack sealed and slurried 5 miles of the trail last year from Railroad Pass to the just past the bridge at Equestrian and a section by mile marker 7.)
Boulder City is working with RTC of Southern Nevada to identify funding for RMLT trail rehabilitation.
We'll keep you updated on the progress of these improvements as they move along.
Thanks,
Ron Floth
River Mountains Loop Trail Partnership
Thank you Ron! We love our RMLT and can’t wait for the repairs.
good, I will be on the trail tomorrow, looking for E-bikes to race and beat. bring it.
The cracks filled in between Henderson and Boulder City already need refilled. Nice try, but maybe someone more substantial than just tar?
If you only talked to the people in the know. Thought you left.
I dont see nothing been said about the wetlands trail leading to lake las vegas. There huge cracks all over the trail starting at sunrise trail head. If you could please also fix this we all be very thankful.
Thanks Ron. Should be perfect for our race in October
Zoe Klein Albright- FYI- hopefully this answers your questions!
Not a fan of slurry, feel it makes the surface rough but the cracks on 12-14 are very dangerous to inexperienced riders so thanks for the update Ron
Don't let them all do it at the same time. Make sure they put in bypasses when they do it. If you are past the half way mark and come to a section that you cannot pass because the trail is being rehabed then it makes for a very bad day.

That's a good start. Planning for these costs annually to keep up with them would help greatly. Some of these gaps have gotten worse over a period of 3 to 4 years. That's neglectful, IMO.
Thanks for the updates!!!
Our hearts go out to the lost souls and hurting families of today's tragic crash.
Let's watch out for each other.
Amen May God Bless....
First Responders Running Relay coming to the RMLT October 16, 2021! Runners will run on Lake Las Vegas Parkway to the River Mountains Loop Trail. From there the course will proceed in a counter clockwise direction and stay on the trail through Henderson, Boulder City and Lake Mead National Recreation Area. For more information please go to: cpaf.org/first-responders-relay/
The news was just tragic!! 🙏❤️🙏
Which news channel?
Tragic
Oh no! What happened?
This is pretty cool!
Thanks to City of Henderson for this creative idea to promote cycling!
Hello All,
Please be advised that the National Park Service will be repaving Lake Shore Road starting today from U.S. Highway 93 to Saddle Cove. The project will run from November 2nd to the 30th. This project will not impact the RMLT.
Temps are on the rise!
5:00 a.m. is a good start time for a ride on the trail this time of year!
I usually ride in Summerlin but have been wanting to ride the trail. If you can't do the whole loop what would be the best place to start for a 2 hour ride?
Just got done riding my part of it. Like the fresh asphalt and striping looks great.
We rode twice last week. Both times we were pedaling by 4am. We made it half way around the loop before the sun even came up! We love to see the sunrise over lake mead. So beautiful!
Has anyone seen the guy on the golf cart that was handing out water if needed and blowing off the trail? Been a while since I’ve seen him. I know he was a volunteer and he even picked up trash! Miss him! 😔
Yep. I went out to BC and back, with a 0515 start.
I've done that few times! Racing the heat!
It takes a lot of work to maintain a trail such as the River Mountains Loop, not to mention all the other amazing parks and trails in our area. Now's your chance to say thank you to the folks who care for these places. Visit the Get Outdoors Nevada website for more volunteer opportunities:

The City of Henderson will crack seal and slurry the RMLT from Railroad Pass heading north to roughly mile marker 7.
We got it Done, Sonny Morakot 🏕️🏆🚲🚲
I rode over some of them, they did a good job.
Yay! Thank you!!!
The folks at Lake Mead have completed a pilot project to fix the large cracks on the east side the RMLT. If the fix holds up they'll move forward with the rest of the cracks until a more permanent repair is able to be made.
That’s nice ! Very appreciated !
Thank you!!
Are the road repairs done and the affected sections reopened?
🔥👍👏👏👏
Forgot to send you pictures of this work. Not having our meetings I am losing track.
Is there a timeline? When is the RML open for bikes?
Saw signs today that it’s closed from Monday to Thursday
About blew a tire on those cracks!
YAY!
PLEASE BE ADVISED! Lake Mead National Recreation Area will execute a crack seal pilot project June 8-12 between mile marker 11-14. June 8-9th they we will be cleaning the large cracks that they plan to seal. Then starting June 10th- June 12th they will seal the large cracks. Please note, this portion of the RMLT trail will be closed at this time. Thank you.

Awesome! Thanks for the heads up
Thank you very for repairing our training loop!!
Oh that is fantastic! Those cracks are a real issue and the filling that was done on them last year did not really ‘take’. Looking forward to a smoother ride once that is done. Thank you!
Yay! those cracks are getting really big and dangerous!
Wow,,, I don’t know how many times I’ve said it but I got to get out and ride on this awesome trail.
Jenn Verdoni we need to keep this in mind.
Thank you!!!
Jesse told me about that last week... just like that, here it is
Unfortunately I don't think this crack seal pilot project has been successful. The crack fill has contracted and although the cracks are partially filled there is now a low in each crack that is a heck of a bump while going over with a bike. Maybe a second round of filling will help but right now this is a real problem! Any plans in the works to fix this? Thank you!
Good to know.
Thank you
