Trail Overview

Kodachrome Road is an easy trail and is suitable for any type of vehicle. Along the way, you will see many colorful geological formations. The colorful landscape inspired the trail's name. Along the way, you will pass by Frenchman Mountain, which makes up the eastern boundary of the Las Vegas Valley. Kodachrome Road is a through trail, but you can make it a loop by returning on the nearby Rainbow Gardens or Lava Butte trails.

Status Reports

The trail is an easy 2 except for the second rock area if coming from Lake Mead Blvd. That area is a bit challenging but an almost stock Subaru Outback Wilderness was able to do it without deflating tires. The last 2 miles are full of trash but it is easy to manage.

Beautiful Sunday late afternoon drive. South to North. No issues. Rocky section in photo and nearby Cairn.

Love the landscape as the desert, especially this trail, is so colorful and beautiful! But pity that there is trash dumped on some parts of the trail along the north end....and tons of trash dumped along the south end of the trail and along the South Hollywood Blvd. :( We got some aerial and GoPro footage of our drive along the trail: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4rOxfieFH8

Pretty and scenic. Stock Jeeps or 4x4s will be fine. Parts are sandy washes. If you stay on the main trail, there are no difficult climbs.
