Last 2.5-miles of trail under construction

Grading Trail tread near Lake Las Vegas

June 2, 2011 —  The last segment of the River Mountains Loop Trail is finally under construction. We refer to it as Segment #14, a 2.5 mile section along the Lake Mead Parkway frontage past Three Kids Mine and entrance to Lake Las Vegas. Work started in late April and is progressing rapidly. This segment will add a “little sister” to the Three Sisters and two tunnels under Lake Mead Parkway. Looking at the rough grading this trail segment will offer some interesting views and challenges .  This last segment is due for completion sometime in late July to Mid August 2011.
