Flow Job Trail - Mountain Biking Las Vegas

Riding the Flow Job trail was recommended to us by the local Trek bike shop. We had one more day in the Las Vegas area to mountain biking near Blue Diamond.
The ride started with a 6 mile road ride, which cruised right by, and led us to some amazing Red Rocks Canyon views.
After the road ride we climbed up some really fun switchbacks that were full of small rocky ledges. These ledges were great to get some not too technical uphill riding in, and get warmed up for the downhill to come.
The Flow Job downhill MTB portion was a little more exposed on loose pebbles than I like. Or that I like to really push my speed on this early in the year.
That all being said... the views were outstanding, but you want to keep your eyes on the trail 😉!
My favorite part of the Flow Job trail was the last couple of miles, where you drop into more of a canyon. There is some rocky downhill tech that was fun (not big enough to call them drops), and you looking into this mini canyon/wash.

[@TheVantasticLife]

Nice! Have fun!

[@Phatplumber]

Well done.

[@TheVantasticLife]

Thanks! :-)

[@seanlee8016]

That trail looks awesome. I’m here for the summer and just need to wait for some cooler temperatures to send it.

[@TheVantasticLife]

Totally! Even when we were there in April it was getting toasty!

[@shawnconnolly8393]

Cool!

[@annakae6546]

Sweeeeet!!!

[@mic1001]

Did you do Ebb n flow? It's right next to Flow job but It's got more features and a smoother trail with better views IMO

[@TheVantasticLife]

We didn't, but will definitely go back to the area. Do you recommend that we make sure to hit Ebb n Flow?

[@mic1001]

@@TheVantasticLife Yes! It's one of the best and beautiful trails in vegas! You can climb it up from Kibble n bits (if you want a techy uphill) and into Goat Roper

[@TheVantasticLife]

Sweet!! Thanks for the insight! We’ll definitely hit that up the next time we are in the area.
