Caldera (Easy) is a mountain biking route in Nevada, about 3 miles from Boulder City. It is an out-and-back ride that covers roughly 8 miles with a total elevation gain of 410 feet, and it is rated easy. The climb begins with the steepest stretch at about 0.1 mile, where the grade reaches 12%, before the route eases into a more gradual ascent to a high point of 3,216 feet. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show April highs around 81°F and October highs around 84°F, while July highs average about 107°F. That station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Several other routes start close by, including Boy Scout (Moderate) about 0.1 mile away, Power Pole at 0.2 mile, and Skyline (Difficult) at 0.3 mile. For climbing, Double D Boulders is about 5 miles off.
