I rode Cottonwood valley back in August. I found a tour from Las Vegas Cyclery, where I rented a bike and went with a guide.

I looked at their website. Im thinking il use them. How was that trail? It says its advanced. How technical and steep? I might have some real novices with me, theyre young and in shape but I dont want to have to helicopter them out.

It was a nice ride but I didnt think it was advanced. Not very technical and not very steep, the climb was pretty gradual. It was a good ride back down though. The novices should be fine with the ride if they are in shape.
Here are some pics of the ride to give you an idea.
