Written Directions

This route starts in Northeast Vegas and runs in a loop northeast of the city. From Las Vegas: I-15 to Valley of Fire State park exit. Continue through the park and hit Hwy 167 towards Lake Mead. Right on 167 will take you back towards Hoover Dam/ Henderson/Las Vegas. At the end of 167 you can go left to Hoover Dam or right towards Henderson. Pick up Boulder Highway back to Vegas.

Scenery

Awesome scenery throughout the ride. Views of unusual rock formations and parts of Lake Mead are visible from several parts of the route.

Drive Enjoyment

Interstate 15 portion is good, state park road is good, the desert harshness has not been kind to Hwy 167. Not impassable, but a few bumps in the road got our attention. Hold on!

Tourism Opportunities

Amenities are more plentiful at the beginning and end of the route around Las Vegas. Once off the interstate, not much available. The State Park has restrooms and a small visitor center and scenic waysides.

The 2 parks this loop passes thru are fee areas so be aware of this as you go. The state park has a self service pay station at either end so carry some loose bills, i believe it is a $5.00 or less per vehicle charge. This applies even if you are just driving thru and not stopping. The Lake Mead portion is a National Park area and is a seperate fee. Your National Parks annual pass will cover this area but not the Red Rocks portion. Hwy 167 is being resurfaced over the next year and should be improved soon. My last ride thru in Oct 2009, they were rebuilding 3 of the bridges and when complete the paving should begin.

Very nice run through spectacular scenery. I left Las Vegas c. 9am, tanked up along I-15, rode through to the turn off for Echo Bay (where there was a small boating shop that sold packaged food and beverages), and made it back to the city c. 1pm before the burning afternoon sun hit.

All in all, an excellent day trip recommendation. Thanks.

The roads all seemed well maintained. I would suggest taking the road to Callville bay and back, very scenic with good turns. Lake Meads entrance fees were $10 a bike so be prepared. I rode with two Cafe's and they semed to have a blast. Beware, there are plenty of park rangers out there to issue tickets.
