Mountain biking Las Vegas/St George?
|
Any advice for good x-country rides on days off from climbing at Red Rock? Maps, trailheads, directions, shops? |
|
Dave Nice at Over The Edge in Hurricane can help you for St.G riding. Amazing place to MTB. Don't tell anyone, haha. |

There's established mountain biking trails at "Cottonwood Canyon" ; The Black Velvet Canyon turn-off off highway 160- How convenient is that!! : ) Trails are beginner to moderate, and a few hardcore. There's a great shop, "McGhies" 5 minutes from Red Rock in Blue Diamond; I'm sure they'll have maps. |

I lived in St. George from March 2005 - January 2007. The climbing opportunities are very good with a variety of stone and difficulty, but I have to admit that the biking is some of the best in the country. utahmountainbiking.com/ is one of the best outdoor sport specific sites I've encountered; check it out and look for Gooseberry Mesa, and the JEM trail. Also Bear Claw, Green Valley and Stucki trails closer to town. |

Gooseberry mesa between hurricane and colorado city. Great slickrock style riding, lots of trails, good camping etc. |
