Please join us tomorrow for a lovely picnic at Lower Equestrian Park. We will have a few activities for the kids and distribute information about the RMLT.

Choose your own adventure and enjoy the trail from 8:00-11:00 am. Let us know what your favorite part of the RMLT is. What do you enjoy most about the trail?

Sorry to be negative but I don't know how we can celebrate something that is not functioning properly. Tires are flattening from the large gaps. It is throughout the entire RMT with the exception of the new part of the RMT on the Boulder City. This was once an awesome trail.

In 2003 I remember riding the three sisters from the dirt lot on Lake Mead to the end which was around 3 miles.
