I love this trail and am so happy it was created. I remember when the trail wasn't there...sure you could bike, run and walk near and far but having one established trail from Henderson and looping around boulder city, lake mead, then lake Las Vegas and back to henderson (30+miles total) is a real treat. Especially when I can easily access it from my house. I have done the whole loop once and during the fall-spring times I'll go to Boulder City and back a couple times a week. The spot from the end of lake mead to lake Las Vegas can be pretty mind-numbing...so bring some music for that part. Lol. Then from lake Las Vegas to henderson you have three serious hills, known as the "three bit*hes" from what I've been told...and they are pretty nasty, especially if you've already come from doing nearly the whole loop. They pretty much increase in steepness all the way to the last one...I've only ever rode up the whole last hill once, and I was standing and nearly doing a wheelie the whole time lol.
Anyway, the trail is well maintained and I love seeing it used by so many (well not too many, it's never crowded).
Get out there and check it out :)
