Upper Lake View is a mountain biking route in Nevada, about 1.8 miles from Boulder City. It is a short, out-and-back ride of roughly 2.9 miles, with a total climb of 574 feet from the start at about 2,800 feet to a high point of 2,944 feet. The route is rated moderate, and the steepest stretch comes at about 1.2 miles in, with a grade of 12 percent. 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 averages climb to about 107°F. That station sits well below the route, so temperatures on the trail run cooler. Several other mountain biking routes start close by, including Lower Lake View and the East Leg (Moderate), each about 0.1 mile away, and the Jump Line at a similar distance. Climbers can find Boy Scout Canyon about 5.3 miles off.
