Today we visited Bootleg Canyon in Boulder City, Nevada. Bootleg Canyon is famous for its extremely fast and wild downhill mountain bike trails. Even world champion downhillers have said that their trails are one of the hardest trails in the world to ride.
However, to avoid being one of the blood donors to Bootleg Canyon, we skipped the downhill trails and instead rode the thin singletrack cross-country bike trails that snaked alongside the canyon.

These trails were designed well, looked like they made an effort not to cut too much into the mountain to make trails, but followed the contours of the ridges and canyon walls. This is a fun area to ride, with lots of trails to choose from.
This trail had everything, ups and downs and loose gravel and rocks, and the constant fear of falling down the canyon side.
Dad took these pictures of the plants that often dotted Bootleg Canyon amongst the usual desert shrubbery.
Sometimes, riding a section of singletrack was out of the question.
