South Loop Trail at Mt. Charleston, Las Vegas
Did you know there’s a place just 35 miles from Las Vegas that’s 25 to 40 degrees cooler? At Mt. Charleston, less than one hour’s drive from the Strip, you can enjoy gorgeous scenery in 70-degree weather, while Vegas bakes in 110-degree heat. Mt. Charleston is home to waterfalls, snow-covered peaks (even now, in June) and, most importantly, lots of hiking trails — which you can enjoy for free!
From the 100 foot waterfall at Big Falls to Charleston Peak (11,918 feet), there’s an adventure for everyone. Below, I’ve selected some of Mt. Charleston’s best day hikes.
