38TH ANNUAL NEVADA 200 TRAIL RIDE

By UpShift

Scot Harden knows that there’s so much more to Nevada than Las Vegas. That is why he hosts the Nevada 200 trail ride in the small town of Caliente, NV. Go ahead – I’ll wait while you search for Caliente on the map. Once you find it, zoom out and take a minute to realize just how much public land surrounds Caliente. See the potential for riding that Scot and so many others have keyed in on?

The Nevada 200 is a three-day trail ride that takes full ad- vantage of the eastern Nevada landscape. Each day features two unique routes that start and end in Caliente – one for A riders and the other for C riders. The routes link up for hydration stops, scenic viewpoints, and a great lunch on Saturday. Each route is guided and swept, so that riders can focus on the ride, not having to navigate through a network of trails in an expanse of public land that’s larger than some states.

Riders from all walks of life attend the Nevada 200 each year. The 2022 event saw moto legends and AMA Hall of Famers like Rodney Smith and Jack Johnson, as well as rally rock stars Mason Klein and Skyler Howes in attendance. After the ride on Saturday, Mason and Skyler hosted a Q and A session about their recent Dakar adventures. What’s great about the Nevada 200 is that everyone hangs out and rides together, and any time you put so many awesome folks in the same place and give them all dirt bikes, memories are made.

The Nevada 200 is a great event where you have the chance to mix it up with pros and other riders from all over the country, as you spend three days riding trails that take full advantage of the awesome country that surrounds Caliente, NV. From sandy washes and dry lake beds to single track that ducks and weaves through pinion and juniper trees to desert canyons, the Nevada 200 Trail Ride delivers miles of smiles.
