Ginger is a mountain biking route in Nevada, about 1.1 miles from Boulder City. It's a moderate out-and-back ride of roughly 2.5 miles, with a total climb of about 1,128 feet from the low point at 2,583 feet to the high at 3,597 feet. The climb is front-loaded, and the steepest stretch comes at about 0.87 miles in, with a grade of about 32%. 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 well below the route, so temperatures on the climb run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes sit within a few tenths of a mile, including Lower Lake View, Middle Lake View and Reaper. Climbers can find Boy Scout Canyon about 4.5 miles away.
