Lake Mead National Recreation Area - National Park Service
🔥🔥🔥 The US National Weather Service Las Vegas Nevada has issued an excessive heat warning for Lake Mead National Recreation Area Saturday through Thursday. Temperatures are forecast to reach 110-115 degrees for the Mead District and 120-125 for the Mohave District. As a reminder Goldstrike and Arizona Hot Springs Trails are closed. The other trails remain open, but we do not recommend hiking in these conditions.Wow...it was 14 years ago we broke ground on the RMLT thru Railroad Pass connecting Henderson and Boulder City via paved trail.
Oh the memories...😊😊Groundbreaking shovel photo op. Representatives from City of Henderson Government, Boulder city, BOR, BLM, Railroad Pass Hotel & Casino, Cycling, and RMTP man the shovels.
is I 11 going to cut through some of RMLT?
Seems like only yesterday . . .
Now just need lights installed to make ride to Boulder City at night. As much money as Starbucks make in Boulder City on all the bike 🚴🏾 riders maybe they can donate
Great job
It's such a spectacular trail.!!😊
One of the best rides in the Southwest !
The bike pump has been stolen from the bike work station site near the third tunnel on the Lake Las Vegas side of the trail. If anyone has any information on when this took place please let us know. The Bureau of Reclamation will replace the missing pump soon.
That's horrible
POS's
What is wrong with people ??
That is terrible, but I am not at all surprised. Some people just cant help but spread their own misery.
have you checked a good toss away? Seems odd that someone would take it.
Not cool!
Scumbags with nothing better to do.
Aholes!!!!! This just makes me mad!
Why do people have to be so stupid and mean? Seriously I bet if you asked someone would buy you a fricken bike pump
Dicks
Probably the same people that spread rocks all over the trail on purpose, riding 4 wheelers and scooters. Idiots!
Are you frikn kidding me? Bad guys did it.
It better be for a sick little girl's bicycle. Otherwise they can just rot in hell 😔
Duche Bags!! I was just by there last week and didn't notice if it was there or not.
Scoundrel
Man that's messed up. Those bad apples mess it up for everyone
Lame
Low life
The one at Equestrian is not working

I love this trail.
What slimeball would do that??????
Annual inspection of the River Mountains Loop Trail.
See any snakes or tortoise??
I can understand the need for inspections and such, but automobile traffic on the trails is causing deformation of the surface in some places of the trail. Would prefer they use lighter weight vehicles or ride a bike like the rest of us. The trail was not designed/constructed to support the use of heavy motor vehicles, especially when these vehicles drive off the edge of the pavement and create cracks and breaks in the path surface. Trying not to be negative here, but this is a problem on several sections of trail now.
Inspect by ebike 🙂
Did you inspect the homeless guy living in the drainage pipe by the casino?
Seems like inspections could be done from bicycles. You see a lot more from a bike than out a car window. Just saying.
No dumping sign is dangerously close to the edge of the trail north of Equestrain trail head about 1/4 mi
Happy Trails Day... go early, take plenty of water.It's #NationalTrailsDay! The newly resurfaced 34-mile River Mountains Loop Trail surrounds the River Mountains, connecting Lake Mead, Henderson and Boulder City.
This time of year, hiking is safer in the early, cooler part of the day. Bring plenty of water for you and your pets. And remember the pavement is hot for delicate puppy paws.

There is another water source available on the trail. It is located near the entrance to Las Vegas Boat Harbor. This is a potable water source that is safe to drink. You'll find it behind the bathrooms just to the right of the entrance to Lake Mead Boat Harbor. Thanks to Carl Bush of Lake Mead for making this available.
Thank you ! thank you! thank you !

I've wondered about that spot. That's where I usually rest and eat my snacks.
I've been using that water spigot. Glad to hear it is potable! 😳
Good news!
Great! Did not know that was there!
You can find a lot of things behind that bathroom...
Thanks, I was always afraid to use it.
Huge help!
Then there is one at the visiting center. Just in time for the climb. The bike shop shack at the boat storage has always let me fill up too. By fare the spot for me is the Veterans home... a good time to say hi and thank to the men and ladies whom served our country. Oh yah... ice cold filtered water year round!!! Water is a must, living water and you'll thirst no more. 🙏🏻
Thank you!!!!!
Todd Heaney😀
That's always been there.
knew it was there, but good to be reminded for this hot weather
Snakes always around water. Be careful.
There are seven watering spots around the RMT

Fantastic news. 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Outstanding!
Ride On!!
The City of Henderson deserves a Big Atta Boy for this new trail segment. The trail design and funding was allocated years ago, but approval had to come from Union Pacific Railroad since it is located on an active railroad line onwned by UPRR. It took several years to negotiate and change plans that UPRR would approve. Now we are ready to move forward. Thank you City of Henderson.😊😊
The River Mountains Loop Trail was built through community collaboration, and funded in large part through the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act. This source, which uses funds generated by the sale of Nevada lands, is zeroed out in the next budget federal budget taking these funds away from Nevada. Potentially a huge impact on future construction of parks and trails in southern Nevada, as well as great work protecting amazing resources such as Lake Tahoe.
