ネバダ周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

This is a fun, non-technical ride in its own right, and also an access route for the Capital to Tahoe Trail. Actually, it's arguably the longest access route — but it comes with the bonus of being able to bike straight to Lake Tahoe from urban Carson City.

From a 221 meter high observation deck, we enjoy the breathtaking view of Lake Mead, the Colorado River and the numerous valleys and gorges that surround the dam. The Hoover Dam is about as high as a 60-story building and was the tallest dam in the world when it was built in 1935. During our visit, we have the opportunity to go inside the dam. We walk through the original construction tunnels and visit the observation deck with a view of a pressure pipeline and 8 of the commercial generators in the Nevada Powerhouse.

This rolling gravel road is the most direct route between Oatman and the Colorado River. Along the way you'll be treated with amazing views of sheer cliff faces, towering mountains, hard desert vegetation, and abandoned mines. This being Arizona you'll need to take all of the usual precautions in order to survive the heat.

This trail runs along the old railroad that was built to facilitate easy delivery of goods during the construction of the dam. It's not paved but the hard packed gravel should be rideable on just about any bike. You'll definitely be glad you took this trail when you see the incredible views across the dam and Lake Mead.

This area offers many different vantage points to take in the wonderful views, both natural and man-made.

This Wild West living ghost town on Route 66 is filled with wild burros. In 1863 mountain man Johnny Moss struck gold in Oatman, after which its population and gold exports boomed. This boom lasted until 1941 when the United States entered World War II and ordered all Oatman miners to stop mining for gold and to instead excavate minerals for use in World War II.
