The Last Ride to Hoover Dam
The last day has arrived … which was hard to imagine a few months ago when we started putting this trip together.

So with this in mind, we decided to ride a portion of the River Mountains Trail to connect to the Railroad Rail Trail which winds its way to the Hoover Dam. Parking at the Hemenway Park, we coasted our way down to the trail intersection and rode the rail trail out. Our trikes got a fair amount of attention today so progress was slow but eventually we arrived and walked a short distance to see the dam as well as the new bridge that wasn’t here the last time we were.
The ride back went smoothly and we then decided to continue on the River Mountains Trail to where we were stopped on day one by the wind and rain. The ride back was basically 5 miles of climbing but that just means slowing down.
Then … there is the final boxing of the trikes … about an hour and then it was done.
Today's ride: 21 miles (34 km)
Total: 408 miles (657 km)
