I started this trail at the north end of Lake Mead blvd and retuned north on the east leg of Lava Butte Loop. This is an easy trail with only a couple of areas that I had to really slow down over uneven terrain. I did not need to air down tires, nor use 4WD but there's a few rocky areas to pay attention to. You can pick up a little speed towards the south end of Kodachrome road. It's hard packed dirt/clay and smooth on the south end. The return trip north on Lava Butte had better visuals, more gravel and a few small steeper inclines. It took about 2 hours to complete the loop.

Mostly flat and rocky with some very slight off camber turns. A few 1ft high obstacles that will only be safely passable by higher clearance.
