A technical and steep climb to a moderately technical, very steep descent.

The trail geology is highly unique in that large portions of the trail, especially the downhill, is on solid, super grippy, volcanic rock. If the North Shore had a baby with Las Vegas, this would be it.

You can expect steep, grippy step-ups and downs, tight switchbacks, a roller coaster of lateral moves, and some typical Las Vegas loose stuff, along with a little jank and chunk.

Access Info

This trail extends off of the marked trail "Sneaky Pete."

This trail is unsanctioned.

 Climb really needs a rake. Very loose. Downhill is good.

      Easily one of the best views in Vegas. But this trail is nuts. It’s all over the place. The rocks are nice and grippy, but that downhill is crazy. It’s like bronc and bone shaker had a baby. And the random double black shelf section. I rode this once, and it was pretty nuts, but I’d ride it again if I’m not coming from bears. Sick trail

      This could probably pass as a red trail, at least for the downhill. The climbing is black, but the downhill is super steep and extremely technical.

      Stoked to have another new trial by the hood! Just like others have said.. steep meandering and techy. Beautiful
      Views of red rock on the way down. Really fun addition to the Calico area! Thanks the builders

      We hope you've been enjoying Trailforks!
