OUR TRAILS
Ride them. Respect them. Help protect them.
Southern Nevada is home to some of the most unique desert riding in the country. From the expansive trail network at Cottonwood Valley to the technical terrain of The Burbs and the wide-open miles of Sloan Canyon, these are the trail systems SNMBA rides, stewards, and advocates for every day. Explore the trails, learn before you ride, and discover how you can help keep them open and sustainable for future generations.

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.
The Burbs
Tight, technical, and right in town. A locals' favorite tucked into the southwest valley with rocky punch-ups, quick laps after work, and views of the entire Strip skyline.
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 into the high desert.
Know Before You Go
A few rules of thumb from the SNMBA community. The trails we get to keep are the trails we treat well. Respect other users, protect the Mojave, and help make every ride a good one.
Share the Trail
- Riders climbing generally have the right of way.
- Pass only when it's safe and avoid forcing others off the trail.
- Control your speed, communicate when passing, and be courteous to all trail users.
- Follow posted trail regulations and land manager requirements.
Communicate
- Let others know you're approaching and how many riders are in your group.
- Ask before passing and wait for a safe place to do so.
- A friendly hello goes a long way.
Be Prepared
- Carry more water than you think you'll need.
- Bring basic repair gear, including a spare tube, pump, and multi-tool.
- Tell someone where you're riding—cell coverage can be unreliable in many trail systems.
Ride Aware
- Know your limits and inspect unfamiliar features before riding them.
- Desert trails can be rocky, loose, and technical regardless of rating.
- Watch for wildlife and give animals plenty of space.
Leave No Trace
- Stay on designated trails.
- Biological soil crust can take decades to recover from a single tire track.
- Pack out everything you bring in, including tubes, wrappers, and CO₂ cartridges.
Weather Matters
- Check trail conditions before you ride, especially after rain or storms.
- Avoid riding muddy or damaged trails. Tire tracks left in wet soil can create long-term maintenance issues.
- Respect temporary trail closures and restoration efforts.
- When in doubt, give trails time to dry and recover.
