Hike-A-Bike is a short, easy outing in Nevada's Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, part of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. The trail runs about 2.4 miles out and back from the Robbers Roost trailhead, with a total elevation gain of 260 feet. The route rises from a low point of about 7,842 feet to a high of about 8,127 feet, and the trail surface is natural, so expect dirt and rock. The trip works year-round, and the trail is open to bikes and horses. That makes it an easy choice for a ride or a pack animal. The forest manages the land, and the parking area is at the Robbers Roost trailhead. Summer is the most comfortable time to go. Typical averages from the Mt Charleston weather station, about 3.6 miles away, show July highs around 79°F and lows near 52°F. Winter is much colder, with January highs around 44°F and lows near 22°F. Several other trails start within a tenth of a mile, including Tin Can and Link Trail. The Robber's Roost climbing area is about 0.2 miles away, and Hilltop campground sits about half a mile off.
