Kevorkian is a short mountain biking climb in Nevada, about 2 miles from Boulder City. The route is just under a fifth of a mile long, with a total elevation gain of 210 feet from a starting point at about 3,311 feet to a high point of 3,359 feet. The climb is steep at the start, with a grade of about 22% at the first tenth of a mile, and the route ends with a slight descent of about 231 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Las Vegas show April highs around 80°F and October highs around 82°F, while July averages about 106°F. That station sits roughly 1,100 feet lower than the climb, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Poop Chute is just 0.1 mile away, and Snake Back and Armageddon are each about 0.2 mile off. For climbing, Boy Scout Canyon is about 5 miles away.
