100 Miles of Awesome: Checking in on the Vegas Valley Rim Trail

Driving down the 95 or the 215, you get a feel for the curves of the Valley, the giant circle running around the outside of our nonstop urban shuffle. Running or biking or riding a horse on the paths that follow a similar line, you become part of the vision of the Vegas Valley Rim Trail. In the works since an open-space study introduced the idea in 2007, the Rim Trail remains a vision because its 100-plus miles encircling the Valley are still being dreamed up, funded and built.
