Mt. Charleston, Nevada Relocation Guide

Mount Charleston, Nevada

Mt. Charleston is less than an hours drive from the bright lights and excitement of the Las Vegas Strip. In the summer, when it is over 100° in Las Vegas, it is usually only 80 degrees in the mountains. In the winter, the mountains offer Las Vegans a gentle reminder of what snow actually looks and feels like. As you drive into the mountains you will notice two things. It gets cooler and the environment around you changes from desert to forest. Anyone who enjoys good clean air, spectacular views, and the serenity of the mountain atmosphere, will find this a most rewarding trip.

No matter what one's outdoor pleasures are, these panoramic ranges provide a quick getaway from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas. The area residents find the Mt. Charleston Recreation Area to be a welcome relief from the summer heat of the Las Vegas Desert.

Mt. Charleston, at an incredible elevation of 11,918 feet, is truly the centerpiece of the Spring Mountain National Recreation Area. Located in the Toiyabe National Forest, this 316,000 acre recreational area offers some of the most incredible scenery, picnicking, camping, hiking and skiing available in the southwestern United States.

You will be truly amazed as you experience the breathtaking beauty of these towering peaks as they seem to stand guard over the desert floor of The Las Vegas Valley.
