About 15 miles north from the Las Vegas Strip is Kyle Canyon, which goes west for 20 miles or so to Mt Charleston - the mountain and resort area.
Eventually you can go no further and you end up in the lodge parking lot :-)
Unfortunately, both day-use areas were having some construction going on, so there was no access to the hillside or trails :-(
The elevation is about 7,500 feet so at some times of the year this may be snowed in.
It was perhaps 80 degrees on this day.
A volunteer fire department.
Some territorial markings.
Mail boxes.
You are here.
A regular fire department across the street from the volunteer fire department.
The library from a distance.
Another optimistic sign, closer to the freeway end of Kyle Canyon.
It's a nice drive. Kyle Canyon has a nice hike (in a separate thread).
