About the Program

The Equestrian Trailhead at 1699 Equestrian Drive in Henderson is a starting point for the River Mountains Loop Trail, a non-motorized loop of approximately 34 miles that links Henderson, Boulder City, Hoover Dam and Lake Mead National Recreation Area. Families can walk or bike a short stretch out and back.

To find it, take Boulder Highway to Equestrian Drive and follow it to the end of the street; the building there is a restroom. The main trail is paved or concrete and 12 feet wide for walkers and cyclists, and some segments add a second trail for horses, with horse access from Equestrian Park, which you pass on the way in. If you want a stop with a kids area, Mountain Lake Park on Golda Way is another Henderson trailhead with a kids discovery area, shade and water.

First Visit Guide

What most outdoor and hiking programs expect. Confirm the details with River Mountain Loop Trail - Equestrian Trailhead before you go.

What to bring

  • More water than you think. A liter per person minimum, more from May through September, because out here heat ends hikes long before tired legs do.
  • Closed-toe shoes, hat, sunscreen, snacks
  • A downloaded or printed trail map. Cell coverage drops fast in the canyons.

Before you go

  • Check park hours and reservations. Red Rock's scenic drive uses timed entry part of the year.
  • Start early. By mid-morning in summer the trails are a hazard, not a workout.
  • Tell someone which trail you're taking.

The first visit

The easiest first outing is a ranger-led family program: short distances, shade breaks, and a guide who knows where the restrooms are.

For sensory-sensitive kids

Open trails are naturally calm. Pack ear protection anyway for windy overlooks, and pick out-and-back trails so your child always knows the way out is the way you came.
