Sloan 404 Trail is a short mountain biking route in Nevada's Red Rock/Sloan Field Office, managed by the Bureau of Land Management. The trail is about 0.8 miles long, with a total elevation gain of 189 feet, and it rises from a starting point of about 3,084 feet to a high of about 3,268 feet. The climb is steepest near the 0.6-mile mark, where the grade reaches about 9 percent. 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 roughly 1,000 feet lower than the trail, so temperatures on the route run cooler. Several other routes lie close by. Black Mountain Trail is about 0.2 miles away, and Sloan 403 is about 0.3 miles away. The Cactus Trail, a mountain biking route, is about 0.4 miles away, and Madeira Canyon Trail is about 0.5 miles away.
