エルドラド山脈のおすすめMTBライド

You can get a nice, panoramic overlook of Lake Mead from here. While sitting here you're on the Nevada side of the state line, but the east coast of the lake is technically in Arizona.

This trail runs along the old railroad that was built to facilitate easy delivery of goods during the construction of the dam. It's not paved but the hard packed gravel should be rideable on just about any bike. You'll definitely be glad you took this trail when you see the incredible views across the dam and Lake Mead.

Such a great selection of trails to send all day cruising around. One of our favourite trails was desert cruise. A green trail that takes you back down to the city, floating and flowing away!!

Boulder City is a great place to stay for easy access to the Bootleg trails. You can use the dreamy bike paths to head up to the trails.

The Lakeview Overlook is just a short distance from the Hoover Dam and offers panoramic views of the Boulder Basin from a higher elevation from the dam itself. To the northwest you can see Hemenway Harbor, the tunnels of the Hoover Historic Railroad, and power lines that extend out and up from Hoover Dam. To the northeast, you can see Rock, Boulder and Saddle Islands and the Muddy and Black Mountains.

Upper Lakeview is the most difficult and technical of the three challenging Lakeview trails. This 1.5 mile trail is rocky and loose with many tight turns and steep washes. You can also use Upper Lakeview to access some of the lower sections of the very, very difficult downhill trails in the area (where body armor is highly recommended).

Of the three Lakeview trails (Upper, Middle, and Lower), Lower Lakeview trail is the easiest. It is often done in combination with the other two Lakeview trails to make a nice loop. Lower Lakeview trail starts from the main parking area, riding south for about .5 miles before taking a left toward Lake Mead. The trail descends, dropping you in and out of undulating, roller coaster like washes before heading up a steep, loose hill to the Middle and Upper Lake View Trail junction.

Girl Scout is a popular intermediate mountain bike trail that connects the lower part of Bootleg Canyon to the upper. This trail can be ridden both directions and is popular in both directions, so be aware of others as you ride.
