Skyline is a short mountain biking ride in Nevada, about 2.3 miles from Boulder City. The route is 0.86 miles long, rising 162 feet from a low of 3,160 feet to a high of 3,410 feet. It pairs easily with other trails in the area, with Boy Scout (Moderate) just 0.1 mile away and Caldera (Easy) about 0.3 mile off. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show October highs around 82°F and April highs around 80°F, while July peaks near 106°F and June near 101°F. That station sits well below the ride, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Several other mountain biking trails start within a short distance, including Power Pole at 0.3 mile and Sidewinder at 0.2 mile. Climbers can find the Double D Boulders about 5.3 miles away.
