We Proceeded On...to find where else the 30-mile Mountain Trail Loop around Lake Mead went and how much is completed. Just as Lewis & Clark found there was no direct inland water route from the Atlantic to the Pacific, as of now there is no direct trail around Lake Mead. It breaks up in pieces. But still today I found some very scenic areas around a new development called Lake Las Vegas.
The project is still under construction but a Marriott and Hyatt Hotel are open and operating along with a golf course with as many water hazards as Pebble Beach. Where I picked up the trail the surface was asphalt. It quickly changed to dirt where construction crews have begun to change the desert into developments. But soon and unexpectedly I emerged at Lake Las Vegas. I'd never been there before and was surprised by how nice everything looked. Plenty of plants, flowers, waterfalls, ducks, cobblestone trails and of course a lake. I took a ton of photos on the 1hr & 45min run but seeing many just received professional marathon photos, I'll wait a few days before releasing the Lake Las Vegas package.
Sorry to say I missed Cypresse's yoga class tonight so I better try for Kim's Friday class with live music.
