In February of 2020, the Clark County Commission approved construction of the Red Rock Legacy Trail. 

Although the trail broke ground July 1st, it’s a project 20 years in the making, following the death of Metro Police Officer Don Albietz. 

In July of 2005, Albietz was bicycling in Red Rock Canyon when he was killed by a driver during a hit-and-run. 

The new $100 million trail is designed to protect pedestrians and cyclists with better safety while they’re in Red Rock.
