Hoover Dam Mountain Bike Tour

Come experience one of the newest bike paths in the Las Vegas valley. Recently opened, this beginner friendly trail will take us leisurely downhill toward Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam.

After some basic riding instruction, you will set off from the trailhead and be immediately rewarded with spectacular views of Lake Mead.A short stop gives you the opportunity to see Bighorn Sheep, so don’t forget the camera.

Stops along the way will allow for explorations, photos, and questions about the area. The path continues to meander toward Lake Mead where you can stop at the Lake Mead Visitors Center for restrooms and water.

If the weather is nice and you feel the urge, bike down to the lake to swim in the green waters. Summer water temps range around 85F degrees, and the water stays nice even into late fall.

Back at the railroad tunnel trailhead, you will prepare to embark on a historic journey. Take your bike for a ride through the tunnels, where trains transported concrete to the Hoover Dam 24 hours a day for 2 years. You will travel through no less than 5 tunnels, with views of Lake Mead between each. Continue on the trail toward the Hoover Dam, and drop into one of the modern engineering wonders of the world. Here you will have ample time to explore the visitor’s center, take the Discovery tour, and pose for a few photos while looking down at the Colorado River.

After lunch, we will pack up the bikes and gear before heading back to Las Vegas to finish off an unforgettable experience.
