Mount Charleston

Mount Charleston, including Charleston Peak at 11,916 feet is the highest mountain in both the Spring Mountain range and Clark County, NV. It is the eighth highest mountain in the state. Well separated from higher peaks by large, low basins, Charleston Peak is the most topographically prominent peak in Nevada, and the eighth most prominent peak in the contiguous United States. It is located about 35 miles northwest of Las Vegas within the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area of the Humboldt–Toiyabe National Forest.

Mount Charleston is a year-round getaway for Las Vegas' residents and visitors, with a number of hiking trails and a modest ski area. The mountain, which is snow-capped more than half the year, can be seen from parts of the Las Vegas Strip when looking toward the west. Mount Charleston has nearly 200 camp sites and over 150 picnic areas, some of which are RV-accessible. The village of Mount Charleston, Nevada, lies at its base to the east.

Charleston Peak is a popular destination for hikers. The summit offers panoramic views from the Sierra Nevada, Death Valley, and of Las Vegas. There are two well-marked and well-maintained trails to the summit: South Loop Trail and North Loop/Trail Canyon. The trails can be done on their own as an out-and-back hike, or combined as a loop. Both approaches involve a strenuous 16+ mile round trip with over 4000 feet of climbing.
