Who We Are

Building, maintaining, and protecting the mountain bike experience in Southern Nevada — one volunteer hour, one trail mile, and one rider at a time.

The Southern Nevada Mountain Bike Association (SNMBA) is a Nevada non-profit corporation established in 2010, operated by a 100% volunteer base and funded through grants, memberships, and donations. We are a proud local chapter of the International Mountain Bicycling Association (IMBA).

SNMBA's mission is to build, maintain, and advocate for sustainable outdoor recreation on multi-use trails throughout Southern Nevada. We conduct regular trail maintenance and construction, advocate for new trails and connecting routes across the region, and foster strong relationships with the land managers who steward our public lands.

Sustainable outdoor recreation will shape our lives for generations, giving people of every age the chance to step away from their screens, breathe deeply, ride freely, and rediscover the joy of being connected to nature and to each other.

Cottonwood Valley

The crown jewel of Southern Nevada riding. Sixty miles of stacked-loop singletrack at the base of Red Rock — beginner flow, technical desert chunk, and everything in between.

Flowing singletrack winding through The Burbs trail system

The Burbs

Tight, technical, and right in town. A locals' favorite tucked into the southwest valley with rocky punch-ups and quick laps after work.

Desert singletrack threading through Sloan Canyon National Conservation Area

Sloan Canyon

Long, rolling cross-country miles through the Sloan Canyon NCA. Big desert views, sustained climbs, and the McCullough Hills connector for full-day rides.
