- In this episode I ride the Dead Horse Loop trail in a 15 mile scenic route through the Cottonwood Valley, trail region of Nevada. This trail is about 30 minutes from the famous Las Vegas strip. The climb is long and mostly gradual, including some doubletrack to keep the excitement at bay at times. This is the kind of trail that grows on you the farther you get into it.
TIPS:
* The Dead Horse Loop Trail is not actually a loop in itself. You must combine other trails make a the loop. During the making of this video I took several different routes on the return which I have listed below.
Begin riding from Late Night Parking west through the 3rd tunnel to the south side of Hwy. 160 on doubletrack. Boring desert riding for the first couple miles but before you know you're riding through fun scenic terrain. A couple more short doubletrack sections (watch closely for the turns back to singletrack) and you are presented with Satan's Escalator....a series of switchbacks on a steep climb. Mortals walk most of Satan's Escalator but e-bikes don't have to. At the top take the Dead Horse Loop (SW) trail which will lead you to Wilson's Tank Overlook. This is where all the spectacular views of the Las Vegas strip are. Finally, follow the Dead Horse Loop Trail north towards a thrilling descent called 3 Mile Smile. At the top of 3 Mile Smile the Dead Horse Loop Trail ends, but lot's more fun awaits you. You can bomb down 3 Mile Smile almost the whole way back to the Late Night Trail head, or take the Techno Trail (Black Diamond) or take Badger Pass (Green).

THE BIKE RIDEZ STORY & MISSION :
We are e-bike explorers! This channel is continuing to evolve. The current focus is the scenic beauty and peaceful landscape of the trails we ride, not the actual mountain bike riding or e-bikes we are ridding. Although we thoroughly love riding our eMTBs 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 phones where we can stay focused on being in the moment. Best of all we get to share with you some of the best and most spectacular scenic bike trails in the United States. At BikeRidez, it's not always about the ride, it's about the view!

Never thought of Las Vegas as a mountain bike destination. Your videos inspired my wife and I to pack up our E Bikes and head to Las Vegas from San Diego to check it out. It was an awesome trip! Without your RUclips channel we never would have known what great trails LV had to offer. Appreciate all your great work!
Thank you so much for your kind words. I'm so glad you found some great trails to ride in Las Vegas! I really appreciate you watching!
Nicely done. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you too! I really appreciate your kind words.
dead horse has a lot of fun sections after passing second parking lot (@1:00). although i prefer 3 mile smile/red canyon out and back. that side of cottonwood is my favorite. my go to loop is badger pass up then techno>white rhino back to parking. so much fun bombing down.
I did several different routes including returning through Techno and Badger Pass. I ultimately, decided to try and make the video simple and post separate videos on Badger Pass and Techno Trails.
Awesome drone footage.
Glad you enjoyed it
