Mount Charleston Cabins
Quick Facts
Why Mount Charleston & the Spring Mountains
Mount Charleston rises to 7,000-plus feet within the Spring Mountains, less than an hour from the Las Vegas Strip yet an entirely different world of ponderosa pine, cool alpine air, and wild burros where locals go to escape the desert heat. The Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest here offers waterfall hikes like Mary Jane Falls, the Bristlecone Trail through ancient pines, and in winter, Lee Canyon’s ski runs and Las Vegas’s only tubing hill.
Mount Charleston Cabins is a genuinely refreshing escape from Las Vegas heat, less than an hour up into the cool pines of Mount Charleston — cozy rather than luxurious, but the elevation change and hiking access make this a strong, easy day-trip-turned-overnight.
