Never heard of Bootleg Canyon till now. Is it shuttle only? Is it all pay to ride?

I don't think your website mentions any of this.

Thanks for posting.

Bootleg Canyon is one the premier mountain biking destinations in the world. Located in Boulder City, Nevada just 20 minutes from Las Vegas.

At Bootleg Canyon (home of Interbike Outdoor Demo) there are specific downhill and specific cross country trails. There is no fee, but All Mountain Cyclery runs a shuttle for a small fee the downhillers on Weekends.

I thought every mountain biker has heard of Bootleg Canyon? Moab, Boulder City, Sedona and Flagstaff our some of the best mt. bike towns I have found in the US Southwest!

Thanks for the heads up. I just changed our web site form the Whiteface Mt. Bike Park (Lake Placid, N.Y.) since we just closed for the season, to Bootleg Canyon (Boulder City, Nevada) in the last few days. Still plenty of work needed on the site. I must have over 100 pages on the site by now too.
