Laughlin's Colorado River Heritage Greenway Park & Trails Project Opened
Laughlin's Colorado River Heritage Greenway Park and Trails project, named one of the nation's most promising projects designed to protect special places and reconnect Americans to the outdoors, was recently dedicated. The project, also known as the North Reach, was officially opened to visitors by Clark County Commissioner Steve Sisolak, whose District A includes Laughlin, the Department of the Interior Assistant Secretary for Water and Science Anne Castle, Clark County staff, and other local, state and federal partners. The project consists of 9 miles of trails in the Laughlin area for bicyclists, pedestrians and equestrian riders, and includes expansion of the Laughlin Riverwalk, fully developed restrooms and trailheads, picnic sites, shade shelters, fishing piers, and a highway pedestrian bridge overpass and underpass providing access to the Colorado River. Visitors of all abilities can enjoy the trails and accessible fishing areas. County officials described the project as a wonderful new amenity for the community that will enhance the area as a destination for eco-tourism and outdoor adventure, and help preserve some unique vistas and historic sites related to the construction of Davis Dam.
The project was funded with $24 million from the Southern Nevada Public Lands Management Act, $2 million from Clark County and additional federal grants. Key development partners have included the Bureau of Reclamation, National Park Service, Laughlin Chamber of Commerce, the Las Vegas Convention and Visitors Authority, and other public and private entities.

Run Laughlin 2018 - EVENT VIDEO TOUR (Laughlin, Nevada)
We decided to enter Run Laughlin this year. They have a cool scheme where by if you get a record for your age group, you can run for free the following year in any distance: 5K, 12K and Half Marathon (I think they are now finished with the 10K!). They also have a similiar event in March called Annual Laughlin/Runnercard Half Marathon. The race was cool, by only drawback was there were no mens small or medium shirts, which was kinda weird!

Half Marathon Route
The December weather in Laughlin and Bullhead City is perfect for an early morning race – crisp, clear, with mild temperatures and visibility for miles. Speaking from experience, the Mojave Desert is one of the most picturesque, peaceful and tranquil places to run on Earth. The Half Marathon course begins in the parking lot in front of Laughlin High School, weaves through the school grounds including one lap around the track before heading out onto the highways around Laughlin. Miles 2 – 3.3 are a steady climb of 321’ as you make your way toward Highway 163. From Needles Highway you will cross over onto the Westbound lanes of Highway 163 where you will be running East as you start the fastest portion of this course. You’re now facing 3.3 miles of DOWNHILL (loss of 683’) as you speed toward Davis Dam Rd. Be sure to look up at the sun rising over the Black Mountains in the Arizona distance checking out the Colorado River and Casino Row in the foreground – this is one of the most breathtaking vistas of the course. Leaving Highway 163 you turn north onto Davis Dam Rd, continuing the steady downhill trek as your thundering footfalls echo in the desert’s silence. Be sure to look for the cowboys that are sometimes seen riding along this part of the course and give the horses at Pot-O-Gold Stables a hearty wave.
The hulking bulwark of the Davis Dam appears eerily in the distance and you head straight as the glorious downhill comes to an end. You begin the brief ascent onto the rim of the Davis Dam itself. A peek over your shoulder reveals a stunning view of sunrays dappling like brilliant diamonds on the surface of the mighty Colorado River. The rim of the Davis Dam allows you to cross from Nevada into the State of Arizona, and you are welcomed by a million-dollar view of Lake Mohave to your left. The brilliant hues of the lake’s surface shift from deep cobalt to cerulean blues and are so beautiful it disappoints your eyes to tear them away. Be sure to take advantage of our #SelfieSpot where you have the opportunity to take your photograph with one foot in NV, and one in AZ. Wait! Without warning, you notice that your Running Watch and smart phones have suddenly gained precisely one hour. WTH? Am I running that slow? No. Not only have you crossed into the Grand Canyon State, but into the Mountain Standard Time Zone as well – it’s the FUTURE! Watches and phones will be momentarily confused, but the mystery will only be temporary. You journey into Arizona to the only out-and-back portion of the course. The journey through Arizona is relatively brief (depending on how your legs are holding up) and after making the turnaround you return to re-cross the Davis Dam and back into the Silver State – Nevada. Your return to Casino Row will be along the banks of the Colorado River via Laughlin’s new Heritage Greenway Trail, a beautiful, newly-opened public park filled with hiking and equestrian trails.
Your final push to the finish includes a bridge crossing (sorry for the slight uphill to the bridge) and descent onto Casino Drive where you will glimpse the finish line ¾ of a mile ahead! The cheering crowd of spectators welcomes you home; where a volunteer will congratulate you and drape a well-deserved medal around your neck. Exhausted, but exhilarated – high on endorphins and the satisfaction of your performance, it is time to Celebrate! Grab a water and head to the party, don’t forget to get your free beer when you are ready for it (Legacy Runners get two). There will be music, prizes and eventually we will give out the age group awards. Enjoy!!

Laughlin 2010
Our recent get away boat ride from Laughlin to London Bridge. We had so much fun we are looking at boats to buy.
Phoenix bike path loop
An awesome 22-mile loop on some of the best bike paths that Phoenix, Tempe, and Scottsdale have to offer. This loop connects a bunch of bike-dedicated paths at Papago Park, Tempe Town Lake, the Indian Bend Greenbelt and the Arizona Canal Path, with a minimum of road biking and a lot of great scenery.
The loop can be viewed here:
