Mustang Loop + Cactus Slalom (Beginner Friendly) - Las Vegas Mountain Biking Trails

Описание: In this video I'm showcasing the beginner mountain biking loop in Vegas called Mustang/Beginner Loop on Trailforks. As an added bonus I've also included Cactus Slalom. These trails are located out at the Late Night Trailhead near Blue Diamond/Las Vegas.

This is a full pull of both trails, meaning start to finish with no editing out or speeding up sections. I begin with riding from the trailhead to get on the Mustang or connector to Late Night and ride that parallel to the highway until I reach the Mustang turnoff to the right. (There's a sign, don't worry 😊). The climb, which is moderate and pretty mellow takes me about 6 minutes. Then that's when the true fun begins. I take Mustang around and merge onto Cactus Slalom and ride that to completion, where it intersects with Landmine. From there the video picks back up where we left Mustang (I did another lap and filmed that section) so you can see what a full loop looks like on that without taking Cactus Slalom.

These trails are very beginner friendly and relatively smooth with a few small rocky sections sprinkled in here and there. I'd say the biggest thing to watch out for would be the cactus on the edge of the trails. Don't be fooled though, this trail is fun for ALL levels!

For your view pleasure I'll provide timestamps for each section so if you're wanting to see a particular section or wanting to skip the climbs, etc....

My goal with doing these full-pulls (even though they're LONG and take a long time to do) is to help others who are looking to get information for trails they've never been on. Whether it's to help them make decisions on which trails they would want to ride, especially if they are limited on days, or they just want some beta on what to expect or even trust they can ride it! Call it virtual scouting haha. Not to mention I see it a lot where people either ask me or on forums, what's a good beginner loop in Vegas? What's family friendly? etc....

Stayed tuned for more...🥰
