During the trip with the fam in Las Vegas during the weekend, I really wanted to go biking in the Bootleg Canyon trail system near Boulder City twenty minutes away from Las Vegas. So I went on a Sunday(the day after my Hurricane race) and it was really great. The weather was very nice and the trails were awesome, there were a lot of jumps too. I did 13 miles and it took about a good old hour and a half. There were a few people there but not a lot, which was great. If you just go on the green trails and go really fast, you can get some big air on the jumps! That was really fun. Lot's a turns and burms and a some pretty good climbs to get to the top. I went in the cross country trails area and there is a downhill bikes only area which you have to shuttle up on the road because nobody wants to climb up to the top with a 45 pound downhill bike. It looks like a good trail system for everyone and I would go there again. Just don't go there in the summer time when it's scorching hot but you can ride in the mornings and evenings though.

did not go
No trees..out in the desert, kind of sucky eh??? At least you had somewhere to ride while you were down there...looks cool.
It's not too bad when there are snow in the mountains still. The trails were really fun.
Well Dan I am glad you had a great place to ride. I am excited for you to come and tear up some trials here!
