Summary:
WOW! I just moved here from CA. on Aug. 5 2003. Wasn't I surprised to learn that Bootleg Canyon is Literally in my back yard, and that I can ride my bike there from my condo.
I have only been here about two weeks,but I have already ridden there four times.
I've been riding the cross-country courses and have improved my riding dramaticaly in just two weeks. This course is not for beginners. I would have to agree with another reviewer, that you should be at least a high level intermediate rider, to begin riding here.
Also; there are yellow rocks showing where the down-hill courses cross. Please slow and look up (on the mountain) for low flying aircraft (bikes), before crossing these areas. The life you save may be your own

The trails took a hard hit during the latest T-storms, so please help out by clearing loose rocks from blind curves, rather than letting someone else find them the hard way. You probably will have to dismount at these damaged sections anyways, so PLEASE take a few seconds to help maintain the trails. The more people that help, the better and easier the trails will be to maintain.
Other than that; have a blast!

Recommended Route:
Buy a map from the local bike shops and explore.

If you take the River Mountain Trail down to the Muti Use Trail and Drainage Canal (its paved), and head for Lake Mead, it makes for a fun and weird down-hill run. You can slalom on the banks and go t

If this is true....do it and don't miss some of the best riding in the west. Take upper lake view to Mother Trail then connect w/ caldera and boy scout and river mountain trail back to upper lake view and your car.... Wish I was there to check it out!...again

Recommended Route:
Rumor has it that the Mother trail now has been pushed through to meet up with Caldera!

Summary:
Great trails. Not being an extreme downhiller, I was still able to appreciate the fine cross-country trails. These trails provide small drops and ledges help build skill level. More so than Cottonwood. Not to much climbing but enough to get a good workout. I was thrilled to find technical singletrack close to home. I recommend the trails to advanced intermediates on up. Intermediates can still ride most of the trail I described with a few dismounts. Other than that, lots of fun.

Recommended Route:
Cross Country
East to Caldera to West

Gooseberry Mesa in Southern Utah.
