Pack Hikes
April 17th & 18th
Vegas Spring Railroad Tunnel Hike - B2B
First GSMDCA Sanctioned Pack Hike for 2021 
Vegas Baby!!!

Just 30 miles from Las Vegas, near Boulder City, the gravel Historic Railroad Trail hugs the hills on the southern shoreline of vast Lake Mead. The rail-trail offers panoramic views of the man-made lake and snakes through five railroad tunnels on its way toward Hoover Dam.

Each of the five tunnels along the trail is 25 feet in diameter to accommodate the large equipment that passed through. In this unforgiving terrain, it's impressive to consider the sheer magnitude of force needed to blast the path. Pioneer trails from early dam construction parallel the trail intermittently.  This is a Back - to - Back hike of 8 miles each day to earn 2 Legs.

Trail Head is located in Boulder City, Nevada outside the Hoover Dam.

Parking and Trail Access
To reach the Lake Mead National Recreation Area Alan Bible Visitor Center trailhead, from Las Vegas take Interstate 215 to I-515 south. Follow I-515 south for 5.8 miles to US 93 toward Boulder City. After 9.6 miles take a left onto State Route 166. Look for the Lake Mead Visitor Center sign. The trailhead is just over 0.3 mile ahead on the right.
There are outdoor bio restrooms at trail head and mile 4.5 of the hike.
