Mexican Ditch Trail is a short, easy mountain biking route in Nevada, about 1.1 miles from the town of Pinyon Hills. It is listed at 0.72 miles one way, and riding out and back covers about 1.4 miles. The ride is nearly flat. The route stays between roughly 4,620 and 4,630 feet, with a one-way gain listed as zero. The steepest stretch, around half a mile in, reaches only about a 2 percent grade. That makes it a gentle option for newer riders or anyone after a quick, relaxed spin.
