Possible Trip...Bootleg Canyon near Las Vegas...

Click on picture to see better view.










Bootleg Canyon is exactly near Boulder City, Nevada about 40 minutes from Las Vegas. I never been to Las Vegas or anywhere in that area before so I am looking forward to it. The farthest I have gone down south was St. George, UT, well, been to Grand Canyon and Phoenix but not in Las Vegas. I googled "bike trails near Las Vegas, NV" then it came out a few trails and the most funner and popular trails I looked at was the Bootleg Canyon trail system. It is famous for both cross country and downhill mountain biking. They have a downhill trails for downhill bikes only area and a lot of cross country trails surrounding it. For downhill bikes, they have shuttles to take them to the top. For me, there are plenty of cross country trails to ride on. It is very warm down there this time of the year so I am guessing by April, it will be 80-85 degrees. My family wants to go down during spring break in April and see Las Vegas. If we go down I will be biking in Bootleg Canyon while they see the Boulder City Dam and other stuff. So, it's possible. I will be racing in St. George, UT in March and in Hurricane, UT in April so it will be fun to go down south a lot while it's warm.

Well that should be cool. I've been there a couple times for work. Make sure you check out the big pirate ship...it's got a bunch of buccaneers on it!
