Take a tour with Rail Explorers and experience the magic of the railroad like never before! Ride the rails on our pedal-powered ‘Rail Explorers’ - a unique activity suitable for everyone, just 20 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. On this exhilarating 4 mile downhill railbike ride you'll experience the beauty of the Nevada desert and the River Mountains like never before. The steel wheels go clickety-clack over the rails as you coast along the tracks. The Lantern Tour is a ride in the cool of the evening, the surrounding desert lit by the moon and stars. A romantic, lantern lit ride and a one of a kind experience. Bring your own refreshments to enjoy at our rail-side picnic area, then ride back to the top of the hill in one of the Museum's historic trains.

The Nevada Southern Railway is the last remaining stretch of the historic train tracks used to build the Hoover Dam. On this tour, ride a 4-mile (6.5-kilometer) downhill stretch of the historic railroad on a traditional rail-bike, from the Nevada State Railroad Museum to Railroad Pass. Set out in the early evening for the most atmospheric experience and watch the sunset over the Nevada desert and the River Mountains as you pedal along the railway.
