Las Vegas Mountain Bike Trail Conditions

Las Vegas is a winter and shoulder-season desert riding destination. Bootleg Canyon's rocky tech above Boulder City, the flowy Cottonwood Valley and Blue Diamond trails, and the McGhies network ride on fast-draining desert soils that are good almost any time it isn't raining. Summer rides happen at dawn; winter and spring are prime.
