Lovell Canyon: The Local, Cool Option During Vegas High Temps

Only 15 minutes down State Route 160 from my high desert home is Lovell Canyon Road, the doorway to cooler temps during a sweltering Las Vegas August day.

The elevation gain goes from about 4,800 feet to 5,900 feet as the U.S. Forest Service Road slowly cuts a swath between open fields and evergreens.

Yes, this is Vegas, too.







It was fun to bike with Jared and Heather Fishr, the first couple of bicycling in Las Vegas.

The morning began with a stunning sunrise. Take a look:


How the day ended.
