Guided Mountain Bike Tour to Mustang Trail — Red Rock Canyon Half-Day from Las Vegas

The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate beyond the bottle
Bring a 1–2L hydration pack in addition to the provided bottled water—heat and effort can deplete you faster than you expect.
Check pedal and saddle fit before start
Provide your height and pedal preference when booking so the operator can set your bike correctly for comfort and control.
Sun protection matters
Wear long-sleeved sun shirts, SPF lip balm and wraparound sunglasses—the desert sun is intense and reflective off sandstone.
Ride your limit on descents
The trail moves quickly; pick lines early and ride conservatively on unfamiliar technical sections to avoid crashes.

This region sits along the Keystone thrust fault and has long been traveled by Southern Paiute people; modern conservation began when the area was designated a National Conservation Area to protect its geology and cultural sites.
