Adrenaline meets high-desert hospitality at the Lincoln County Mountain Bike Fest, returning for its sixth annual ride-packed weekend. Nestled around Cathedral Gorge State Park near Caliente, this three-day festival delivers wicked singletrack, epic views, and community vibes under the vast Nevada sky.
Desert singletrack and community spirit—Lincoln County Bike Fest brings desert riding, BBQ, music, and mountain moments under one wide-open sky.
The festivities kick off Friday with a hands-on Trail Stewardship Day. Grab your gloves and help maintain Lincoln County’s trail network, with lunch, tools, and supplies provided. Volunteers earn extra raffle tickets and 30% off next year’s fest registration.
When the trails cool, warm up with a BYOBBQ and bike movie night. Bring your own grillables and drinks while organizers provide sides, utensils, and the big screen.
Saturday is pedal-powered and packed. Registration and the vendor village open early, with shuttles whisking riders to top local trailheads like Kershaw, Barnes Canyon, and both Upper and Middle Ella. Lunch vendors, live music, raffle drawings, and playful contests like log-pull and bunny-hop light up the park, setting the stage for a legendary afterparty.
Sunday brings one last hurrah with morning group rides—including an exclusive ride led by the event director and team—before the venue closes at 2 PM.
