Description for Blue Diamond
This review is for Landmine Loop. This is a great quick desert loop. It is a mix of fast single track and rocky sections. If you don't have a lot of time this a great place to get a quick ride in. It beats spending time in the smokey casinos.
Directions to Blue Diamond Trailhead
Park at the bicycle shop and roll to the south of town where the trail starts. The trail is best riden in the CW direction. The west side of trail is sandy. In the CW direction it is a downhill section.

If you ever find yourself in the Vegas or Blue Diamond/Red Rock Canyon area and need to rent a mountain bike, you MUST hit up McGhies. Chris (the manager) was awesome … he offered many trail options and helped tailor my ride based on skillset, interests, desired ride intensity, etc. Chris had my faithful steed (a 2011 Trek Fuel Ex5) fully equipped, setup and ready to go when I arrived. He even did a pedal swap to accommodate my SPD clips/shoes. Price was lowest in the area … best $40 I’ve ever spent, period.
About the single track: riding in the desert/mountains for the first time was awe-inspiring (I’m from West Michigan). Gnarly down hills, breathtaking (literally) up hills, amazing views, astonishing vistas, etc. Local riders where super friendly helping me navigate trail logistics along the way. It was truly a remarkable experience that I will not soon forget.
One more thing … I left my specs at Chris’ shop and gave him a call after I had arrived at home. He was more than willing to package/mail my glasses back to me, free of charge! Hands down the best service I’ve ever experienced from a LBS.
Ride w/McGhies!
