Middle Lake View is a mountain biking route in Nevada, about 1.4 miles from Boulder City. It's a short, out-and-back ride of roughly 1.6 miles, with a low point of 2,703 feet and a high point of 2,759 feet. The climb is modest, with a total elevation gain of about 39 feet, and the route is rated moderate. The steepest stretch comes early, around 0.37 miles from the start, where the grade reaches about 6%. Spring and fall are the most comfortable times to ride. Typical averages from a nearby weather station show March highs around 73°F and October highs around 84°F, though that station sits about 1,100 feet lower than the route, so temperatures here run cooler. Several other routes sit close by. Diva is about 0.1 mile away and Reaper and Ginger are each about 0.2 mile away. Climbers can find Boy Scout Canyon about 4.8 miles off.
