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.

I rode this route several years back on a rented Nighthawk, and found 167 to be pretty harsh. Recently moved to Vegas and decided to run it again, found the pavement to be MUCH better, nearly new with no bumps my suspension couldn't handle. I was a little nonplused when I came to the fee collection gate, but then I noticed there was no-one staffing it so I got into the area without paying a dime. Yay me. This was at 5:30 on a Sunday afternoon on the 1st of May; not sure if the timing had f**k-all to do with it, but I'll take it. I found 167 to be completely enjoyable. Lots of decent elevation changes, nice sweepers, nothing too technical. Do yourself a favour and take the turnoff to Callville Bay Road, some nice stuff in there too.

Best to head north on I-15 to Logandale/Overton turn off. Have a bite to eat in Overton then head south along the lake to Henderson. No fee going this way and a bit longer ride as well!

Easy ride to do from Las Vegas. Great scenery once off the highway. The toll for me and the bike caught me by suprise. Still worth the money and recommended.
