After the small snowfall in the mountains east of Vegas, we waited a few days for the trails to dry out. We still got muddy. The Cowboy Trails aren’t new to us, we rode her back in one of...
Red Rock Canyon Hike
The mountains above Vegas got a quick snowfall that really highlighted the colors and textures in the canyons. We hiked a challenging loop out into Red Rock Canyon State Park. This loop is not maintained and dives directly into...
Late Night Trails Ride
During our 7+ years of full time rv living and traveling we’ve passed through the Vegas area several times. There is really great mountain biking on the outskirts by Red Rock Canyon and we rode there a couple more...

Sacramento Pass and Mine Shaft Hike
There is a fun little trail around the rocks and hills of Sacramento Pass. We hiked this loop on our last day in the area and it has some really interesting features. You can mountain bike it too, but...
