I plan on riding Red Rock Canyon. OK to ride there from the casinos or do I need to drive out? Any suggested routes? I'll be at the Westgate.
So that is one ride, what else should I do? Need at least two. Mt Charleston?
Also, any ride ideas for the Laughlin/Bullhead City area? I'll be there over next weekend.
Thanks

North on Joe Brown through the neighborhoods to St Louis, left to Main Street north to Wyoming then left, or west under the freeway. It turns into Oakey under the freeway. You can go quite a ways west on Oaky, decently quiet street, but the main bike road out of town is Alta. From Oakey you can make a right on Campbell, Torrey Pines or Durango to Alta, then west. Take Alta all the way to the end, Sky Vista now, then left or south to Charleston and out to Red Rock area. Do the Red Rock loop, you pay unless you have the national park yearly pass. Still worth it. It used to be $4 for bikes, may still be. Keep going out to the small town of Blue Diamond, refuel at the small store there. Always bikes there on weekends, usually there on weekdays too.
Go back to your hotel using Alta/Oakey again. No better or safer way.
