Lake Mead National Recreation Area
“With striking landscapes and brilliant blue waters, this year-round playground spreads across 1.5 million acres of mountains, canyons, valleys and two vast lakes. See the Hoover Dam from the waters of Lake Mead or Lake Mohave, or find solitude in one of the park’s nine wilderness areas.”

River Mountains Loop Trail 35.3 miles from Boulder City to Henderson. As described on TrailLink “The surrounding River Mountains are home to one of the largest bighorn sheep populations in Nevada”.
? Historic Railroad Trail 3.7 miles from trailhead to Hoover Dam Parking Garage. “The Historic Railroad Trail is easily accessed either near the Alan Bible Visitor Center or via the Hoover Dam parking garage. It is an easy hike and has great panoramic views of Lake Mead, Boulder Basin, and Fortification Hill.” Soft sand may be a problem in places. Tunnel #3 is closed.
? Bluffs Trail Jim Boone of birdandhike.com describes this trail as ” a nice, relaxing, 0.9-mile stroll across the desert to a low summit overlooking all of the surrounding territory.” Judging from this youtube video of the trail by bigs2020, you would be wise to have trekking poles for balance. There are some pretty rocky stretches.
