About this event
Join the Sundays at 10 Hiking Series as we step back in time and follow the path of the historic railroad once used to transport the massive materials and equipment needed to construct the Hoover Dam!
Built in 1931, the railroad played an important role in one of America's greatest engineering achievements. The tracks were removed in 1962, and the route was transformed into a recreational trail in 1992. In 2007, the trail officially opened to the public all the way to Hoover Dam.
Come enjoy beautiful views of Lake Mead, walk through 5 historic railroad tunnels, and experience a little piece of Nevada history along the way!
This is a great hike for all levels of hikers.
The trailhead starts in the parking lot of the Hoover Dam Lodge. This is a large paved parking lot.
We will start at an elevation of around 1730'. The hike is just under 4 miles with about 100' elevation gain.
We will begin our hike with a quick descent down onto the trail. We will reach the first tunnel about a mile
