Heading out to Vegas for work and I have a free day. Any advice on some decent mtb trails around red-rock area? I have seen a few clips and pics online, but it looks a little tame, am I missing something? Going to hire a bike out there too, so appreciate any suggestions.

Bootleg Canyon?

there’s a cracking zip line there too

It’s going to be hot mind

What he ^^^ said. Very very hot though. You can hire bikes in Boulder City to ride in Bootleg. Have a peek at the Hoover dam while you’re there.

We hired bikes from las vegas cyclary with a guide for half a day.

It was brutally hot and truely beautiful

great ride and I’d do it again in a second

As said above – Bootleg Canyon just outside Boulder City… it’s where they hold the Interbike dirt demo days.

some great bits of singletrack and rocky downhils, and yep – very hot, use sunblock… i rode in mid March and managed to burn my lips (no idea)

I hired a Nomad with Domains from All Mountain Cyclery – they were even kind enough to swap the brakes (l/h – r/h) for me
