5-2: The gravel road to Lave Butte is now signed.

4-14: Just updated Northshore Peak hike with more waypoints, gpx file and a shorter descent route! Also Northshore Road has delays between mile markers 27 and 48. This does not affect Northshore Peak.

4-5: With cooler temperatures forecasted this week means you can still do your favorite Lake Mead hikes.

3-11: Big delays on Hwy 93 just beyond Hoover Dam. Not a good time to do any hike in AZ.

 

Take Las Vegas Strip to Lake Mead Boulevard. Turn right (east) and follow it until it dead ends into Northshore Drive. Go left or right on Northshore to the trailhead.

Assuming you are coming from Las Vegas, take 215 east/south to US 95/93. Go south to Boulder City.
Turn left at the second stop light onto south 93 (also called the trucker route) and drive to the appropriate trailhead.
