The Railroad Tunnel Trail sits on miles of old railroad track that connected Las Vegas to Boulder City, eventually all the way to Hoover Dam. There are 5 tunnels located along the trail and are approximately 300 feet in length & 25 feet wide. They were designed to fit large equipment being transported to Hoover Dam.

The Historic Railroad Trail is an easy hike along a former railroad grade that was used during the constuction phase of the dam. It consists of 5 tunnels leading to the Hoover Dam. It provides panoramic views of Lake Mead, overlooking the Boulder Basin area.

What is particularly interesting from the trail is the view of the lake and the surrounding area.
