Great hiking not too far from Las Vegas. Offers a couple options for difficulty but nothing too challenging.

Awesome park and trail! Beautiful views from
the top and along the way. Fun to run down the switch backs, but be careful!

This is the trail for Fletcher Peak and Mt. Charleston’s South Loop. If you’re aiming for Charleston’s summit but are scared of heights, this route has fewer cliff edges and becomes accessible earlier in the year. Though some places may have snow as late as July.

After 4 miles you will walk within the tree graveyard from 2013’s Fire. Haunting beautiful is the best way to describe it.
However even at 2 miles in you get a couple scenic overviews of Kyle Canyon.

There are many sights to see and reasons to choose this trail. There is overflow parking (but is still usually full by 9 a.m. in the summer) and the restrooms have plumbing and are not just a hole in the ground.

A nice respite from the desert heat but parking can be challenging if you don't get there early
