Mt. Charleston is extraordinary any time of year, with each season unveiling its own unique grandeur. This exciting tour lasts 4 hours and takes you through the Toiyabe National Forest into a majestic alpine setting. A stop at the charming Mount Charleston Lodge, nestled amid a forest of ponderosa pines, is spectacular. Views of the jagged, towering cliffs, encompassed by the fir, spruce and aspen trees makes this landscape simply gorgeous. Descending through Kyle Canyon, the tour takes you off the highway for an excursion through the desert that exposes the true natural beauty of this one-of-a-kind region. Temperatures are approximately 20-30 degrees cooler than Las Vegas, so layered clothing is recommended.
