So I have been living in North Las Vegas for a little over a year now and have been riding since 2008. I currently own a Trek Fuel EX 8 for trail riding and a Gary Fisher Rail for road biking (About the same as a Trek 1.1 for you road bikers, GF only had a line of road bikes for a year). I have not been overly happy with the trail selection here in Vegas. I lived in Colorado for 4 years before moving here and LOVED all of the trails there were there. Here, everything has seemed to be desert trails.
Well I finally did some research and found Bristlecone trail up on Mt. Charleston. I really enjoyed it. I started at lower and climbed up and then did Upper. Good ride! Today I went out and did Robbers Roost...I think. It was by the trailhead but I went down the mountain instead of up and came out by a construction yard by the new Round A Bout just before the lodge. Thats a really fun trail too, but I wish I would have known where all it was going. That ride back up 158 to the parking lot sucked!
Anyway, I am here in Vegas for a few more months before Ill be moving to El Paso. Anymore trails like these? I found a video for something something Chutes and Ladders but wasnt sure on the location of it, unless thats what I as on today? Does anybody have a mtb trailmap for Mt. Charleston? My video of todays ride is loading to YouTube now and I will post it when its done in about 15 min.
