how Off Roading Off The Strip

What do you think when you hear "Las Vegas"? Slot machines, casinos, showgirls, money, glitz, great shows and some of the best buffets in the States, right? Very few people realize that there are some of the best outdoor activities in southern Nevada in the southwestern United States. Lake Mead National Park not only offers a great tour of Hoover Dam, but also a hot spot for lake mead boating, water skiing, jet skiing, fishing and some scuba diving. Roads around the lake are frequented by motorcyclists and cyclists, runners and pedestrians. If you go too far into Lake Mead National Park, you will enter the Valley of Fire, which is named for its stunning fiery red rocks and stunning scenery. At the western end of Las Vegas is the Red Rock Canyon, a more spectacular landscape for horseback riding, hiking, camping, rock climbing, biking and motorcycling. And don’t forget the trials for the ATV audience. Las Vegas has two main areas where locals go for a ride. The first is a half hour outside Las Vegas, just before the Nellis Air Force Base ***** north end. There are two ways to reach Nellis Dunes. You can follow the Las Vegas Boulevard (aka the Las Vegas ***) to the north and take the Las Vegas Speedway to the end or you can follow the I-15. Exit the apex and turn right. You will not miss the dunes on this secluded road. If you get out of I-15, the dunes are immediately to your left, in fact, you can see them from the exit ramp. Trailers and RVs are parked on the dunes every weekend. You can watch kids and adults alike riding on trails on ATVs and dirt bikes. If you follow Boulevard South, you will be parallel to I-15 heading towards California. This roadway will take you to Jean Dry Lake Bed. The area here is a vast desert with plenty of free space for ATV trail riding and only takes twenty to thirty minutes from *****. While venturing out of Las Vegas you can find another ATV hotspot, the El Dorado Dry Lake Valley Area. Take US 95 or Boulder Highway south towards Searchlight. Before reaching Searchlight you will find the Seven Mile Trails after the Railroad Pass Casino. Finally there is the Logandale Trails system in the US 93. An inexperienced rider or first-time visitor to Las Vegas may consider hiring a trail guide. If you are unfamiliar with the area, most of these routes are undetected and difficult to follow. Guide trials can also help you through tough patches. All ATV outfitters in Las Vegas provide training on ATVs to make sure you understand how to operate the vehicle. Driving off-road vehicles in Nevada usually does not require registration, license or title, but drivers under the age of 15 must have adult supervision and all must wear a helmet. It is also necessary to keep the headlights on online from dusk to dawn. Another safety precaution is to place a brightly colored flag on your ATV while riding on trails so that other riders can see you. Do not drive your ATV on roads or highways; Trailer your vehicle on the site and stick to the trials. Above all, do not operate your ATV or any other motorized vehicle while under the influence of drugs or alcohol.
