    Alamo Road
    This was a moderate trail with just a little elevation change. I did this ride late in the day. So half of it was at night. The only real part that was difficult was the lake bead area. Super soft silty sand with big ruts. I would not want to travel that area of the trail in heavy rain. Best part of it is the great views all the way through. Even some cool little dispersed camping spots.

    Gass Peak 4/2/21
    It is a bit of a drive to get there over a rough road, but I was rewarded with a nice trail. It starts with a gentle slope and becomes steep in places, following a ridge line to the top. There is no shade. At the peak there is an amazing view of the Las Vegas valley, with Lake Mead in the distance to the southeast. To the north-northwest you can see where US-95 heading out past Indian Springs, and the Sheep Mountains are visible to the north. Mt Charleston is beautiful to the west. Peaks in CA, AZ, and UT are also visible when it is clear.

    Easy dirt road to camp site near the peak for day camping or overnight. 2wd high clearance vehicle can make it up as long as there is no inclement weather.
