Red Rock Canyon
Red Rock Canyon National
Conservation Area holds a special place in
the hearts of thousands of Las Vegas. In marked
contrast to a town geared to entertainment
and gaming, Red Rock Canyon offers enticements
of a different nature. Peace, serenity and
beauty are just a few words that will barely
begin to describe what you will experience
here. The Mojave Desert is not barren as you
might think. It is teeming with life and beauty
that in my opinion, is rare and |
|
|
|
unique.
Petrified sand dunes, frozen in time, offer you a unique perspective of nature as well as the effects of the passing of millions of years. The excitement of suddenly appearing waterfalls, cascading into the canyons, will make you appreciate the mysteries and the hidden dangers of the Mojave. Red tailed hawks search for their next meal while drifting on air currents high above the desert floor.

Mt. Charleston
In the summer, Mt. Charleston is a refuge from the heat, a hiker's dream and a camper's retreat. In the winter, it's a hot toddy in the Lodge, ski lifts and ski trails and snowballs.
At 11,918 feet above sea level, Charleston Peak is the second highest mountain of the Spring Mountain National Recreation Area, and the highest point of the Nevada portion of the Toiyabe National Forest. It is the eighth highest |

|
|
peak in Nevada. The temperature on the mountain is usually 25-30 degrees cooler than that of Las Vegas, making it a nice place to go for a drive and picnic during the heat of July and August. Take State Highway 95 north to Highway 157, the Mt. Charleston cutoff.
Picnic areas are many in the shade of the ancient pine trees above the 8,000 ft. level. It's about 35 miles north and west of Las Vegas. Many areas are also suitable for camping in the late spring and throughout the summer. Hikers love the area. The trails are many, and the views are some of the most beautiful in Southern Nevada.
