Caliente Mountain Bike Fest
More than 50 miles of flow trails, dirt jumps, and pump tracks are the name of the game at Caliente Mountain Bike Fest, situated in the heart of Lincoln County, Nevada. Showing off some of the best MTB trails in the Silver State, this annual Caliente event celebrates the ever-expanding Barnes Canyon system with a big ol’ party waiting for you at the end of the ride.
Two-wheelers flock to Lincoln County every September for the Caliente Mountain Bike Fest, promising flowy trails, dirt jumps, and 50+ miles of single track without ever touching a paved road.
Hosted by the Caliente Area Mountain Bike Alliance, this three-day mountain biking event is headquartered at Caliente’s Super Park. Shuttles take MTB riders to and from Barnes Canyon, Kershaw-Ryan State Park, and the trailheads for Upper Ella and Middle Ella routes. A group ride also takes place at Kershaw-Ryan, with all skill levels welcome for guided or self-led experiences. After a full day of riding, the afterparty begins with live music, raffle prizes, a Taste of Lincoln County dinner, log pull and bunny hop contests, and more.
In addition to all things mountain biking, the Caliente Mountain Bike Fest fun includes a bike movie on the big screen, a BYOBBQ—bring your own grillables and drinks while Caliente MTB Fest provides sides, condiments, plates, and utensils—and a trail stewardship day. This free add-on comes with lunch and snacks, plus all clean-up tools are provided. Participants get two extra raffle tickets and 30 percent off admission to next year’s event.
