15 Mount Charleston Hiking Trails

Feast your eyes on mountains peaked in snow enclosed by desert and home to more than 50 sensitive plants and animals, many of which can only be found in this special place and absolutely nowhere else in the world. This is the perfect place if you long to escape the city. Mountain peaks, all located in the Spring Mountains worth mentioning for their height include Bonanza Peak, McFarland Peak, Mummy Mountain, The Sisters, Fletcher Peak Griffith Peak, and Harris Mountain. When winter sets in, these high peaks provide glorious alpine wilderness for skiers, hikers, snowboarders, and even ice climbers. Here the natural diversity is truly a revelation, containing seven unique ecological zones ranging from the floor of the desert to the snow covered top of Mount Charleston. These zones maintain a vast array of wildlife including deer, bobcats, elk, mountain lions, birds, chipmunks, and much more. There's a trail to accommodate everyone, even beginners based on your degree of fitness. You make your selection among the temperatures depending on the type of elevation youd like to be enveloped in for the day. Quite similar to Las Vegas, isn't it? Mt Charleston Peak is the highest peak in Southern Nevada at 11,916 feet. Most of the trails begin at about 6,000 feet, and a few bring you right to the top. Don't be fooled by the nice weather. Conditions are more volatile than they may seem. Be sure that you wear plenty of sunscreen, even in the cold weather, and wear a hat and long sleeves to protect yourself as much as possible. ================================================ 🔴 Subscribe to OurBigEscape Channel for more videos just like this: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCui8qQuvNXnj5ssL5Y9nDuA?sub_confirmation=1 ✅ Visit Our Big Escape to learn more about Mount Charleston and Other Areas in Nevada 18 Free Mt Charleston Camping Spots https://ourbigescape.com/18-free-mt-charleston-camping-spots/
