エルドラド山脈周辺のおすすめ交通量の少ないサイクリングルート

Obvious homage to the main sport practiced on the River Mountains Loop Trail: cycling.

You can get a nice, panoramic overlook of Lake Mead from here. While sitting here you're on the Nevada side of the state line, but the east coast of the lake is technically in Arizona.

The Davis Dam is a hydro-electric dam that produces between 1-2 terawatt of electricity each year. Behind the dam you'll find Lake Mohave, on which you'll find a number of resorts, watercraft rental shops, restaurants, and marinas. Due to its desert location the lake is a popular year round destination.

Princess Cove Picnic Area sits on a point in Lake Mohave. The views over the water and across to the mountains are great at anytime, but sunset is especially beautiful. During summer be prepared for crowds and extreme heat, getting an early start is the best way to avoid both.

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.

The Lakeview Overlook is just a short distance from the Hoover Dam and offers panoramic views of the Boulder Basin from a higher elevation from the dam itself. To the northwest you can see Hemenway Harbor, the tunnels of the Hoover Historic Railroad, and power lines that extend out and up from Hoover Dam. To the northeast, you can see Rock, Boulder and Saddle Islands and the Muddy and Black Mountains.

Las Vegas Wash is a 12-mile arroyo that feeds water from the Las Vegas Valley to Lake Mead. The wash is fed by groundwater and reclaimed water used on parks and golf courses.

Don't miss the historic district of this town built for the workers of Hoover Dam in the 1930s. As you ride along Arizona Street you'll be able to spot historical landmarks such as Boulder Theater and Boulder Dam Hotel.
