Reviews of Mt. Charleston Wilderness

Mela J

I took my kids here Christmas morning after wanting to give them an experience instead of just gifts, and we had the best time. The location we visited was called Upper Lee Meadows and it was an incredible spot for sledding with kids of any age. Depending on how far you hike up the slopes you can have a more intense sledding experience or a very mild one. If you visit the area I advise that you arrive early as possible on weekends as you will be turned away if parking capacity is reached. We arrived about 7 am and by the time we left at 11:30 am, cars were being turned away. There is a wooded area immediately to the left of the mountain which had very soft snow so my kids made snow balls and were able to throw snow around. In that same area we found multiple snow men that had been made by previous visitors which gave us great photo ops.

Like its neighbor toward the west, California, Nevada is one of a handful of the spots where you can downhill ski in the first part of the day and sit by the pool in the early evening. Maybe the simplest spot to check this out is in Las Vegas. In under 60 minutes, you can progress from the warm, dry desert floor to a colder time of year wonderland up on 11,916-foot-high Mount Charleston at the Lee Gully Ski Resort. Here, you'll track down a tomfoolery and out of control resort with 26 runs and three lifts. The retreat gets a shocking 11 feet of snow each year and is an extraordinary spot to take a stab at skiing in Nevada.Nonetheless, Mount Charleston isn't about snow. In the mid year, it's a great break from the intensity of the valley floor beneath. Up here, among the tall pine trees, you'll find charming climbing trails, cascades, and the brilliant McWilliams campsite. I took my family here Christmas morning subsequent to needing to give them an encounter rather than simply presents, and we had the best time. The area we visited was called Upper Lee Knolls and it was an unbelievable spot for sledding with children of all ages. Contingent upon how far you climb up the slants you can have a more serious sledding experience or an exceptionally gentle one. Assuming that you visit the region I prompt that you show up sooner than expected as conceivable on ends of the week as you will be dismissed in the event that it is reached to stop limit. We showed up around 8 am and when we left at 12:30 am, vehicles were being dismissed. There is a lush region quickly to one side of the mountain which had extremely delicate snow so my children made snowballs and had the option to toss snow around. In that equivalent region we found various snow men that had been made by past guests which gave us extraordinary photograph operations. Decent 45 minutes drive from Vegas.On New Year's Day there was snow. We made it up to the top and I saw they were confining travel around early afternoon so head out right on time to be in the snow. Gracious! What's more, one thing people… .I saw a few group read the signs about snow chains or winter tires required. Well individuals! Utilize your presence of mind! This was a radiant day, no downpour had occurred for more than a day… .Streets were cleared by the snowplow and there were a few group driving a launder street with their chains on! No requirement for them on 1/1/23 when I visited.

Anna Scott

Hiked the 17.2 to the summit 6/23. Temps with thunderstorms in the area mid 40s and rainy (pack well!) super beautiful hike regardless

EJ Grant

Nice 45 minutes drive from Vegas….on New Year’s Day there was snow. We made it up to the top and I noticed they were restricting travel around noon time so head out early if you want to be in the snow. OH! And one thing folks….I saw several people read the signs about snow chains or winter tires required. Well people! Use your common sense! This was a sunny day, no rain had happened for over a day….Roads were cleared by the snowplow and there were several people driving a dry clean road with their chains on! No need for them on 1/1/23 when I visited….So-Cal people I think🤣

Had a great time just wandering around here the other day. Bummer about the lodge, but at least the cabins survived.

Bradley Vinish

Beautiful place to go on a day trip from Las Vegas. Great picnic areas and very walkable trails. In the summer time it will usually be 20 degrees or more cooler here than down on the Vegas Strip.

Jennifer L

Ok, just be aware that you are going up in altitude. Weather changed quickly and what was so supposed to be a nice clear day turned into rain. We will be back and regardless of the weather predictions, we will pack a rain jacket and a puffy. If you aren’t used to being physically active at these higher altitudes, please take it easy on yourself and find a pace that works. On the way out my friend fell on a wet log and hurt herself pretty badly, so just remember to stay safe! We climbed at the Universal Wall even though it was wet and had a blast! We will definitely be climbing here again on our next visit.

Julieta Kleven

Loved visiting this place and it is 30min from Vegas. You can hike up to the top and see the view or can stop and dine.

Lon Grasmick

Great opportunity to see the other side of Las vegas and Nevada. Cool mountain get-a-way so close to Las Vegas. Endless hiking opportunities as well as picnicking and camping.

Mike Scherback

Incredibly beautiful place. Will definitely visit again.

Scott Watson

Mt. Charleston is always a fun get away and a good escape from the heat. If you've never been talk with someone experience for advice where to go and what to do. There's all kinds of hikes, picnic and camping spots.

Lynn Mukami

Recently drove around Mt. Charleston’s wilderness and the scenery was gorgeous.

Jericha Simion

Picnic Area at Cathedral is awesome. So many trails. Great space for outdoor gatherings.

Kenneth Homa

Very cool. We went there to eat lunch

M Lewis

Pure peace and tranquility. A great getaway from the hot desert heat in the summer due to the much cooler temperature. It also provides great trails for hiking.

T B

I love going here, today we visited Cathedral Rock Picnic area to help plant trees, it was wonderful seeing all the people that came out to help, the fresh air, the hiking and the picnic area was very nice. The bathrooms were clean and stocked. I highly recommend this place.

Bolo Silverlake

Great place to hike. Good gradual incline trails. We saw a couple of horses just walking around the parking lot.

Ed Drake

Nice break from the summer heat. Beautiful scenery.

Walter Lunsford

Beautiful and peaceful...plus not that far away from the craziness of the strip.

Joseph Lopez

Relaxing cozy soothing place. Nice little trail public restrooms and picnic tables. You will have to pay I believe it was $10 bucks to spend the day here and be able to have a picnic here and walk trail. You have to slip money in envelope then hang tag on car mirror. They will come and check to see if you paid. They did for me. Spent a nice quiet day with family after 5 days in Vegas it was nice to get some peace and quit and relax from the big city. Only about a 45 minute drive or so from the strip. When it's 100 in Vegas it's a nice 70 degrees in the mountains.

T.J. Penton

It's amazing that a place just 45 minutes outside of Las Vegas exist like this. I feel like I am in the Sierra of California. Peaceful hikes, quiet, and picturesque. And the lodge has awesome food!

Alex Martinez

Yay! Snow is here ! Easy enough to get there without 4x4 currently , but super cold! Around 23 degrees while I was there.

Diana Collins

I absolutely love this place for family time and fresh air. So close to Vegas and yet it feels like it's so much further away because the surrounding area is filled with large trees, wildlife and tranquility.

Alex Gurrola

This is the place to be! Not the Las Vegas strip! I come here every time I'm visiting family in North Las Vegas. Beautiful trails and ancient trees. Rare species and wild horses and burros call this place home.

Leeann wasinger

Get off the strip and fremont street. Worth a day trip. Cabins to rent up there ...never knew this.....hmmm

susan alberto

Beautiful park. We really enjoyed our hike, especially the cooler temps on the mountain.

B Ardoin

It was absolutely beautiful and a nice way to escape the heat of the valley.

Coffee Cupping

(Translation) It's good to climb, especially when the Las Vegas Strip is hot, and the elevation is about 2600 meters above sea level, so it's a good mountain. (Original) 등산하기 좋고 특히 라스 베가스 스트립 온도가 높을때 올라가면 해발고도가 2600미터정도 여서 선산합니다.

José Luiz Talarico

(Translation) What an incredible place,, delicious,, you leave the Las Vegas heat 40 degrees and in 30 minutes it's below zero degrees (Original) Que lugar incrível,, delícia,, você sai do calor de Las Vegas 40 graus e em 30 minutos está abaixo de zero grau
