About This Trail

Imported description

It's not a long way from the south to the east, but it's the same place they call it after the power line in the south of Henderson. It is a lot more natural and urban than people would have you believe. There are different lengths of a trail to range from a trail with paved multi-purpose to one where there is no sidewalk or patch of desert wash. The entire project starts at the end of Mission Blvd, goes through a series of waterfalls, and ends at a restroom at the Reunion trail park. The beginning section gives nice views of Henderson but the second doesn't show a lot of things.
