Tunnel on the Historic Railroad Trail | Eric Arnold Photography

Historic Railroad Trail (Nevada)

Though not even 4 miles long, this Historic Railroad Trail offers its users a captivating blend of manmade feats and wild beauty. Starting in the desert landscape 30 miles outside of Las Vegas, the trail winds its way along the hills above breathtaking Lake Mead’s shoreline, and through the volcanic rock of its five railroad tunnels, before reaching its dramatic end at the top of Hoover Dam.

Rio Grande Trail (Colorado)

The windswept beauty of sage brush and scrub oaks, richly scented forests of ponderosa and spruce, verdant crops and ranchlands ringed in jagged mountains and crystal clear rivers: These are the visual postcards of Colorado. The beloved Rio Grande Trail traverses this rich mix of terrains along a 42-mile route (nearly all paved) winding from the famed ski town of Aspen to Glenwood Springs.

Tammany Trace winds through the forest | Mark Orfala

Tammany Trace (Louisiana)

So much more than a pretty trace, this rail-trail was the first in the state and sits right across the lake from vibrant New Orleans. Connecting several Northshore communities in its 27 miles, the Tammany Trace comes complete with a bayou, moss-draped woodlands, 31 bridges, museums, restaurants, unique amenities and everything else needed to make it a social and cultural hotspot.
