Point of Interest
The Mount Charleston NRT climbs up a steep ridge out of Echo Canyon. Along the way, there are many dramatic views of Echo and Kyle Canyons. The trail ascends through one of the largest ancient bristle cone pine forests in the nation. Some of these magnificent trees are over 3000 years old. The trail continues on through green meadows before entering the rugged, barren rock area of the 11,900 foot peak. At the peak are breath taking views of Las Vegas and the surrounding desert valleys.
