Drinking water is mapped at 2 points; the longest stretch without is 18.2 mi (mile 0.0–18.2).

Places are from OpenStreetMap within 60 m of the route (0.2 mi for a landmark such as a château or museum), and climbs from the modelled profile. Nothing here is checked on the ground and opening hours are not known. A good place to stop has food and water or toilets together, nearest the middle of the ride.

Rides are modelled from OpenStreetMap and terrain data and are not field-checked yet. Times here are estimates at a sporty pace. Catalogue access does not mean a ride fits your ability or available time. Low traffic stress includes quiet/shared streets, not just separated paths. Check current conditions before you go. Red Rock Canyon charges an entry fee and keeps set hours. Lake Mead charges $15 for each rider on a bike, good for 7 days (under 16 free); pay at an entrance station, not at the visitor center. Northshore Road has almost no services: carry all the water you need. The Valley of Fire ride turns where Valley of Fire Highway leaves Northshore Road, about 2 miles before the state park's gate. The state park charges its own fee, is open sunrise to sunset and closes 1 to 14 December. These fees and hours are not in our ride times.
