A nice trail to do on a cooler day, we went an overcast morning and walked a few miles before turning back as the clouds started to break up, this was mid September, I'd suggest avoiding in the summer as there is little shelter, definitely wear a hat and plenty of sunscreen. The trail is flat and a nice relaxing walk, I'd do again on a cooler day all the way to the Hoover Dam in future.

Amazing hike! Definitely bring sunscreen and water. I didn't finish going all the way to the Hoover dam. I think the best views were on the first half and do the dam separately but the first half is definitely worth seeing and it is free entry/parking.

Amazing piece of history hidden right off the main road. The walk can take a few hours, however, about 15-20 minutes in and you'll find yourself at the railroad caves. If you continue the trail it leads you to the Hoover Dam. There is a view of Lake Mead just about the whole hike. This is a full-day experience. Worth setting some time aside for!

Pretty easy trail to follow, and of course going through the tunnels are a cool experience plus you are having the views of the lake and you end up at the Dam 👌🏼👍🏼

Beautiful hike, views of lake mead, unique tunnels. Being able to see the Hoover dam is a treat at the end. Gets steep by the dam but is otherwise very flat.

Much prettier scenery than I expected. We walked 1.7 miles out and then back. Next time in Vegas. We'll probably do the 3 miles to the Damn and back.

Easy hike fairly level. Trail is wide and well maintained. Great views of Lake Mead. Tunnels are cool to check out. They also have multiple benches along the trail to sit and to enjoy the views. No shade other than the tunnels.

We've hiked here twice and the view of Lake Mead while hiking takes the stress away! Remnants of the Hoover Dam's construction can be seen throughout the route. There are 5 tunnels total, each are approximately 300 ft in length, and 25 ft in diameter. Great panoramic views of Lake Mead and the Boulder Basin region along the journey. Go early in the morning, it gets hot by 10 AM and afternoons get hot too.
