📍 New This Year: Cathedral Gorge & the Prospector Trails
In an exciting twist, the 2025 Mountain Bike Festival will be centered at Cathedral Gorge State Park, one of Nevada’s most iconic natural landmarks. With its towering clay spires, dramatic slot canyons, and wide-open vistas, Cathedral Gorge is the perfect venue to showcase Lincoln County’s beauty and rideable terrain. We chose this location because of it’s central location to all our favorite trails. Reserve your camping spot now!
Also making their debut are the new Prospector Trails in Pioche—a thrilling addition to Lincoln County’s expanding trail network. These fresh-cut routes promise a mix of flowy descents, challenging climbs, and scenic ridgelines that offer something for every skill level.
