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???
