Know before you go
- The Lake View trails sit right under the downhill park. Downhill lines (Reaper, Diva, G-String and others) cross them, so look uphill at every crossing.
- Lake View and East Leg are tagged technical in OpenStreetMap: loose volcanic rock and some ledgy moves. Strong intermediate at minimum.
- The River Mountain trail that crosses Lower Lake View is a hiking trail. Stay off it.
- Best views of Lake Mead in the park are on the far east bend of Lower Lake View.
Ride smart
- Water: plan on about 1 L for this ride. There's none on the trail.
- Signal is spotty. Tell someone your route and your time back.
- Emergency: call 911 and say "Lake Peek ride, parked at Bootleg Canyon Park trailhead, Boulder City / Bootleg Canyon", plus the coordinates from Locate me.
- Wildlife: give horses, burros and anything with horns room, and never feed them.
- Stay on trail. Desert crust and mountain soil take decades to heal.
