Everything about Charleston Peak totally explained
Mount Charleston is the highest
mountain of the
Spring Mountains of southern
Nevada, approximately 35 miles northwest of
Las Vegas. It is Nevada's eighth highest mountain peak, and is part of the
Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, as well as the
Mount Charleston Wilderness Area and the
Spring Mountains National Recreation Area. Well separated from higher peaks by large, low basins, it's the most
topographically prominent peak in Nevada, and the eighth most prominent peak in the
contiguous United States.
Mount Charleston is a year-round getaway for Las Vegas' residents and visitors, with a number of hiking trails and a modest ski area. The mountain, which is snowcapped more than half the year, can be seen from parts of the
Las Vegas Strip when looking toward the west. Mount Charleston has nearly 200 camp sites and over 150 picnic areas, some of which are
RV accessible.
The
eponymous village of
Mount Charleston lies at its base to the east.
The state of Nevada issues optional automobile
license plates with the caption "Mt. Charleston" and an image of the peak in the background. Sales of the plate supports the natural environment of the Mount Charleston area through grants administered by the Nevada Division of State Lands.
