ネバダのおすすめツーリングルート

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 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.

Be sure to park (free on the Arizona side, from parking lot 11) and walk across the dam. This way you can appreciate the mighty structure even better.

The trail from Incline Village to Sand Harbor is a must for anyone visiting North Lake Tahoe. There is one hill as you leave/enter Incline Village, but the rest of the trail is flat and follows along Tahoe's east shore, with incredible views around every corner. Eventually you'll end up at the fantastic Sand Harbor State Park, where you can enjoy the sun, sand, and water before heading back to Incline Village.

Really cool bridge across the Truckee river. There's picnic tables just off the bridge in a nice shaded area. You can access the river here as well which is a great way to cool off in the summer. The colors in the fall are stunning as well!

This popular riverside park has a wide paved path, river access, and many more trails across the river leading to Steamboat Ditch & beyond. Mayberry Park also lies along the Tahoe to Pyramid Cycleway which connects the two lakes while mostly paralleling the Truckee River.

Sand Harbor is one of the most popular destination around Lake Tahoe, and with good reason. The views are outstanding and the beaches are wide and sandy. The parking area generally fills up within an hour of opening during the summer, but if you can get here on foot you'll be allowed entry.

Riverside Drive runs along the Truckee River through a historic neighborhood in West Reno. The treelined paths and sidewalks are stunning in autumn and busy with events and festivals throughout the summer. It can get crowded in summer so going for a morning or evening run will afford you more space.
