The
Logandale Trail System is located on the North Side of the Valley
of Fire, just one hour North of Las Vegas, Nevada. This trail system
was dedicated in 1998 and is truly a trail system designated for
all motorized and non motorized Off Road Enthusiasts.
It
has miles of marked trails, towering sandstone cliffs, incredible
scenic views, master planned Cactus Garden (courtesy of the Master
Gardners at UNLV), restroooms and picnic facilities.
It
is owned and maintained by the Bureau of Land Managment and is open
to the public. Access to the Trail System is through the small town
of Logandale, NV, located just off Interstate 15 at Exit #93 (Logandale/Overton/Lake
Mead), 1 hour North of Las Vegas, NV.
To
get to the Trail System, take Exit #93 off Interstate 15 in Nevada.
This will put you on State Route 169. Stay on this road for about
8 miles, you will pass Wally's Chevron Gas Station, Rik's Auto Parts,
an LDS Church and US Post Office. Just after the Post Office, on
the right hand side, will the VIP Chinese Restaurant on the corner
of Liston Road and State Route 169 (also called Moapa Valley Blvd).
Take a right here. Paved road will end and turn to dirt, make a
right here and follow road over the second Rail Road Crossing (first
crossing will take you to a residential area). Stay on the dirt
road and it will lead you to the Trail System, there are signs along
the way.
Please
keep your speed down to 5-10 mph once you leave the paved road,
the dust from your vehicle really travels and there are several
houses along the route.
If
you'd like a map of the Trail System, stop in at ATV Adventures
on your way to the Trail. The maps are free, and they also have
Soda, Water, Snacks, Custom Shirts and Hats and, of course, ATV
Tours . For directions to
ATV Adventures Office, click here-they're located just after
Wally's Chevron Station, on the left side of the road.
The Desert is home to many Plants and Animals that survive harsh
conditions provided courtesy of Mother Nature, but they can't withstand
harsh treatment by uninformed visitors. If you're ever lucky enough
to spot a Desert Tortoise, don't bother it, allow it to continue
on it's way. Desert Tortoises can store water in their bodies for
weeks, but if they're scared or startled, they may urinate and lose
all that precious hydration.
There
are Native American Petroglyphs in the area, left there thousands
of years ago by the area's first settlers.They are awesome to see
and fun to try to decipher, but don't touch them,they are very fragile
and provide clues to past generations
Remember:
Take only Photographs and Leave only Footprints.
