Located in the Spring Mountain National Recreation Area of the Toiyabe National Forest , beautiful Mount Charleston stands at an elevation of 11,918 feet. Offering an escape from the fast pace of downtown Las Vegas, Mount Charleston is a serene mountain nestled in a forest of Aspen, Juniper, Mountain Mahogany, and Ponderosa Pine trees. The area is home to a vast amount of wildlife including Hummingbirds, Chipmunks, White-Tailed Deer, and more. Its stark contrast to the concrete and lights of the city make this a wonderful place to get in touch with nature and learn a bit about the history of this beautiful area.
The greater Las Vegas area features a desert climate. This results in plenty of heat with very little rainfall. Summer highs reach to more than 105 degrees Fahrenheit and the dry valley ground is hard and non-absorbent which causes major flooding when heavy rains do hit the area. Night time in the desert can reach chilling temperatures and, depending upon what part of the valley you are in the temperature can change drastically from one moment to the next even during the day. Throughout the area you will find amazing natural formations including canyons, rock formations, and more.
On the exciting Mount Charleston Tour you’ll travel through the Toiyabe National Forest . This spectacular area features tons of beautiful plant life such as the ponderosa pines that line the roadways. You’ll then descend through Kyle Canyon for a day off the beaten path to experience some of the most beautiful scenery in the world. It’s truly a journey you don’t want to miss and offers a new outlook on the entire Las Vegas area.
