![Come train or shine
All aboard the hot mess express, let’s hike this railroad trail near Las Vegas 🚂🛤️🥾
[SAVE this post for later!]
Trail name: Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail
Location: Boulder City, Nevada
Distance: 8.2 miles out-and-back (or as far as you want to go)
Difficulty: Easy
Includes:
- 5 railroad tunnels, roughly 300 ft by 25 ft in diameter
- Panoramic views of Lake Mead, Boulder Basin, and Hoover Dam, with the South Virgin Mountains rising up in the distance
Fun fact: After the Hoover Dam was completed in 1935, the railroad ceased operation. In 1962 the tracks were removed, and the trail opened in 1995.
The best place to begin your trek is the Lake Mead National Recreation Area Alan Bible Visitor Center trailhead. This is also a shared trailhead for the River Mountains Loop Trail.
