This trail is very simple (my grandma could make it) but pretty. It's not even close to my favorite trail in Vegas but if you're looking for something short and easy this is a good one! The trail is about 3 miles one way and is very flat. Lots of people choose to ride their bikes here. This is an old railroad route (last use was in 1961) running along Lake Mead with pretty views of the lake. There are 5 tunnels you pass through along the way that are about 300ft deep. In the winter months it can be chilly and very windy so I recommend bringing a fleece or lightweight jacket.
The trailhead begins at the Alan Bible parking lot off Lakeshore Dr. - the first parking lot on the right before entering the fee area. This is also where the visitors center is located. Two trails head off from the parking lot but they meet up after just a short distance so you can pick whichever one you like. When you get to an open gate, continue straight ahead; this is the trail.
Careful! The rocks along this trail will stain your skin and clothes if you brush against them!
