Southern Nevada trail construction — Construction of a bicycle and pedestrian trail connecting Summerlin and Red Rock National Conservation Area kicked off with a groundbreaking ceremony last week.
The 19-mile-long Red Rock Legacy Trail will be built in five phases, ultimately connecting the edge of Summerlin in the north to Blue Diamond Road in the south.
The first phase includes a 1-mile-long section connecting West Charleston Boulevard and Sky Vista Drive to the current location of the Red Rock Canyon Marker (North). A parking lot for trail users is being built near the intersection of West Charleston Boulevard and Sky Vista Drive.
