Biking The Hurl & Landmine Loop - Cottonwood Valley - Blue Diamond NV

Today we are riding The Hurl & Landmine Loop in the Cottonwood Valley trail system of Blue Diamond Nevada (outside of Vegas).

The Hurl was a VERY loose climb that forced us to walk more than ride the uphill portion of the trail. Once we finally reached the top, the downhill was some loose, semi technical low grade down. It was fun to practice loose rock turns.

The Landmine Loop was as cross country as it gets for mountain biking. It was a fun loop that you can really pour your fitness into.

Blue Diamond has a lot to offer when it comes to mountain biking! It's definitely worth a stop for the riding and a coffee (or lunch) at the Cottonwood Station Eatery!
