Itinerary description
This a beautiful canyon. What is left of an ancient river called Muddy River courses through the canyon next to a railroad track that is frequently used. The river flows to Moapa and then to Lake Mead. Lush vegetation abounds on both sides of the road. Water has cut a path through very old lava flows. The entire road is paved but is only about 20 miles long.
At the southern end of the trail is two dirt roads. One leads to the Alamo area and the other terminates on I15 at mile marker 99 - just north of Moapa.
