TUNNELS OF HOOVER DAM

In 1930 there was a railroad built from Bolder city to the Hoover Dam to train supplies for the construction of Hoover Dam. The trail now starts on Lake Shore Drive at the Lake Mead National Recreation Area Alan Bible Visitor Center trailhead. You can also take the trail for the River Mountain Loop Trail which takes you to the hot springs on the Colorado River.

After the dam was completed in 1935, the railroad stopped running, and in 1962 the tracks were removed. Heading north there is 4 miles of trail leading through five railroad tunnels. Each of the five tunnels are 25 feet in diameter so large equipment could easily pass through.

I am trying to put up two videos a week, and will always have a video on Area 51 or the NTTR a week. There is just so much history in Nevada besides the Test Site, and it's been highly requested that I go back to showing the history of Nevada.
I hope you all enjoy the extra videos, and as always
THANK YOU FOR WATCHING Christian!!!
