When I rode it and it was 95⁰ outside, I called it "F-ing with Death"

Isn’t this behind that water treatment plant??

Fun, depending on which way you’re riding!

It’s the part that’s about 1 mile behind my house!!!! I ride it every weekend! 😂

yes, that section with the hills is by the rest stop at river mountain water treatment

I have been away from Vegas for 10 YEARS and the only part of the trail I can picture in my mind are those 3 sisters. Not what I called them then

Glad they finally put the warning for wildlife lookout. There's a drinker there and a few times near miss for bighorn sheep while coming down that hill

Before the 3 sisters

no shade at all. smh 🤦‍♂️

Yes

After the Casino

The whoop section!

Sweet rest stop.

Rolly 🤣

Nice place to separate your shoulder at… 😂
