Cyclists enjoying a challenging ride

Please use extreme caution when bicycling on park roads as some areas have low visibility, no shoulder and are steep with windy turns.

Approved backcountry roads are marked with a yellow arrow sign with a number on it. Please stay on the roads so our fragile desert soils stay protected.

It is always a good idea to carry plenty of water, cycle with a friend, and let someone know your itinerary.

Did You Know?
Hoover Dam, the world's largest hydroelectric installation at the time of its construction, presented massive challenges to its designers and builders, yet the project was completed in less than five years! Hoover Dam backed up the waters of the Colorado River to create Lake Mead.
