Mount Charleston

"Mount Charleston is an incredible escape from the heat for locals and travelers alike. My favorite time to visit Mount Charleston is... all the time! Summer is an amazing relief from the heat. Autumn has some of the most colorful foliage in the Las Vegas area. And of course, spring is sprung with wildflowers and winter is a snowy wonderland. Activities: • Bristlecone Loop: This 5.7 mile loop is considered moderately challenging. This trail will show you some of the best fall foliage in the area - but arrive early! This trail is very busy, especially on weekends. Dogs are also allowed. • Mary Jane Falls: 3.9 mile, out-and-back hike, with 1,135 ft elevation gain. This trail is very popular and considered moderately challenging. Dog friendly. This trail is open seasonally, typically from April-October. • Lee Canyon Ski and Snow Resort: In the winter, our ski resort is open for skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing, and even sledding/snow tubing! Summer activities often include hiking, scenic chairlift rides, disc golf, axe throwing, archery, and even mountainside yoga."
