Lake side trail & Hoover Dam

Today we went on a 7.3 mile bike ride along Lake Mead to the Hoover Dam. It was a very tough workout and one I would like to do over and over again! It is so peaceful and beautiful. To start, we did the Lake Side Trail bike ride. We went threw (I believe) 4 different tunnels. (For those who don't know anything about this trail, it was an old train track system that the tracks have been removed for hiking and such.)

(Our friend Mike went with us too and his wife Heidi missed out. Sorry Heidi!!!)
The trail ended at the Hoover Dam and we walked around there and played with some chipmunks.
(Rylee was scared to death to look over the edge. I don't blame her, it was freaking high!!!)
The chipmunks that we played with and fed, basically would jump in our laps! Bo and Kodi really enjoyed themselves. (:

Then we headed back the way we came. (: We stopped and hiked around about half way back. Bo thought he was cool beans! lol
