Solo EMTB Ride at Sunset | Sloan Canyon NV | Best Bike Trails - Episode 1

The Sloan Canyon trails (AKA McCullough Mountain Range) are located about 30 minutes from the Las Vegas strip in Henderson Nevada. Sloan Canyon sits on the southeast border of the Las Vegas Valley; you’ll recognize it by its black volcanic mountains and ridges that you can see from the southern end of Las Vegas. It’s a mountain biker’s paradise, with terrain so varied it includes a dry lakebed and volcanic peaks that rise above 5,000 feet in elevation. It is best known for its Sloan Canyon Archaeological District (Petroglyph Canyon). In fact, the National Conservation Area contains an entire wilderness—the 14,763-acre North McCullough Wilderness—where you’ll find lava flows, ash falls, and shiny, sharp obsidian.

At the time of this video, there are over 70 trails listed in the McCullough Range. For episode 1 of this video series I road 11 trails located near the Anthem Hills Park trailhead area in Henderson. These trails include: (https://www.trailforks.com/region/mcc...)

THE BIKE RIDEZ STORY & MISSION :

We are Ebike Explorers! This is a channel about electric mountain bike riding for regular people. We are not hardcore mountain bike riders (yet). If you are looking to see trail videos where the riders drop off 8,000 ft mountains at 45° angles you are in the wrong place (at least for now). We are full-time professionals who live in Henderson Nevada which is about 20 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip. Most of the videos you will see on this channel feature bike trails around the Las Vegas valley. Although we were avid bike riders before, the change to ebikes (EMTB) has opened up a whole new world of exploration and adventure for which we hope you will join us. Side note: Although we thoroughly love riding our e-mountain bikes for exercise and adventure, bike riding is our primary form of meditation and stress relief. Our bike rides allow for a few hours without our laptops, and without our phones where we can stay focused on being in the moment. Just like meditation and yoga, when we bike ride, we focus on our breathing, we push our bodies to feel more, and, we get to see some of the most spectacular scenic landscapes, sunsets and wildlife that the Mojave dessert has to offer.Whether you are a Las Vegas local or visiting from any where in the world, our hope is that with these videos we will encourage you to take advantage of the extensive Nevada bike trail system.

Are you ready?
