Overview

Named after the old Kodak color film used in still photography, aptly named Kodachrome Road has some of the most colorful landscapes in Nevada. The unique geology in the region has a wide variety of different colored rocks and dirt that create a sand art bottle appearance. This easy, straight through trail, is an excellent way to quickly escape the congestion of Las Vegas without an all-day commitment. Connecting it with other trails located within the Rainbow Garden area of Lake Mead National Recreation Area will make for a very colorful off-road day trip in the desert.
