This former railroad runs from Boulder City, Nevada to the Hoover dam and is 3.5 miles of loose gravel and runs through 5 tunnels. Fortunately for us the government shutdown ended just a day or 2 prior to our arrival otherwise this trail would have been closed.
We parked and started at the trailhead by the Alan Bible Visitor Center and rode to the dam and back.
Beautiful views of the lake, visiting the dam and all the tunnels make for a great trail. Our only complaint is that it’s such a short trail. You can combine it with the paved River Mountains Loop Trail (which it connects to at the trailhead) for a longer ride which we did ride a little of.
