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

Great day for it. Dry, not hot. Trail was just fine for our ATV, no issues. This was a break in ride for the new quad and is perfect for something like that. Probably a perfect trail/road for a new rider to get the feel of their machine on too. As for road vehicles, we did see a Tahoe having some potential issues with two rocky spots. I personally wouldn’t attempt in an SUV unless lifted. My stock Ranger 4x4 MIGHT have cleared those rocks ok (perhaps not the nerf bars though) but I don’t think I’d take it down there having seen what we saw on the ATV. It is brand new though so still in the babying it mode.

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.
