Historic Railroad Hiking Trail

Our first stop is a delightful hike on the Historic Railroad Tunnel Trail with sweeping, panoramic views of Lake Mead. We'll walk where trains roared as they brought the much-needed materials to the Hoover Dam during its construction. Learn about the captivating history of the railroad that was essential to the construction of the Hoover Dam.We hike until we're about under the Lake Mead Overlook where we'll get a view that other Hoover Dam tours don't bring you to and with much less people (chances are it will just be us there).This trail is relatively flat and is about a 4.5 mile hike.
