Overview

More info and photos coming soon

The Elvis Presta Trail Network is located in middle/lower Lee Canyon in the Spring Mountains. The system offers loops, climbs, and downhill through desert vegetation, pinyon pines and junipers. There is a 14-mile loop for advanced riders that ends on top of a 7,500 foot summit.

Trails are a combination of dry washes, single track, and dirt/gravel roads. Shin guards are recommended because of the sharp desert plants and narrow trails.

Getting There

From Las Vegas:

Drive north on highway 95 towards Tonopah/Reno. 14 miles after passing highway 157 (Kyle Canyon Road) turn left at highway 156 (Lee Canyon Road) and drive approximately 9 miles to a dirt road on the right side (north) of the road where you will find the trailhead.

Red Tape

There is no red tape.
