The Mt. Charlston race is probably the fastest Marathon in the US. After the start at 7600ft it drops 5000ft at a 4% slope. The race takes place the first Saturday in April and is a Boston Qualifier. See the Revel Marathon website for details. If you want to participate then make sure you train downhill runs (e.g. on a treadmill with negative incline). Participants are normally bussed up to the starting line and loading starts in Sumerlin around 3:30am. If you are lucky, then rent a cabin (Mt. Charlston lodge & cabins) directly at the starting line and step out of the warm room into the freezing air just 10min before the race starts at 6am. One of the best moments is when the sun rises over the desert directly in front of you...

Wonderful trail with fantastic views at the top! The hike is a little steep in sections, but nothing too challenging. Great place to do a day-hike if you're in the area.

At 10,335 feet, Relay Peak belongs to the highest summits in the Lake Tahoe Basin and is the highest point on the Tahoe Rim Trail. Compared to its surrounding peaks, Relay Peak is rather easy to reach but still offers amazing views of the surrounding area and Lake Tahoe.

Magnificent view from here - the climb is well worth it! You can also look well in the direction of Las Vegas - should look very good in the evening.

The Matterhorn is the tallest peak in the Jarbidge Mountain Range. Standing at 10,838 feet, this rocky, steep summit requires a little bit of scrambling up exposed Class 2 talus and rock to reach. Once you get to the top of the Matterhorn you are rewarded with amazing panoramic views of the entire Jarbidge Mountain Range as well as views into Idaho! This mountain is named after the more famous Matterhorn in the European Alps because of the steep, prominent cliffs just north of the summit. The Matterhorn of the Jarbidge Mountains is a proud, remote peak in one of the most seldom visited wilderness area in the US. It is a great place to rest, eat lunch, take photos, and sign the summit register. Like the rest of the peaks on the long ridge line, tacking the Matterhorn is a serious endeavor across exposed terrain on trails that might be faint to non-existent at times. Please use good judgement about your own ability and comfort-levels traveling in this type of terrain.

Jarbidge Peak stands at 10,799 feet and is the second highest mountain in the Jarbidge Mountain Range after the Matterhorn. This rocky, open summit provides excellent panoramic views of the surrounding area, but especially across the dry, exposed ridge toward the Matterhorn and the other lesser summits that comprise the Jarbidge Mountains. This summit is an excellent goal in and of itself, but is also a great place to rest, sip some water, eat some food, and sign the summit register before continuing onward to the surrounding peaks across the ridge line if attempting the Jarbidge Traverse. Please be aware that the Jarbidge Traverse is a serious endeavor. You are above tree line for the entire ridge line traveling on exposed terrain on trails that might be faint to non-existent at times. Please use good judgement about your own ability and comfort-levels before attempting Jarbidge Peak and the others along the traverse.

The Cathedral Rock Trail is a very popular, moderate trail that winds up through ponderosa pines and aspen groves toward Cathedral Rock. You get phenomenal views of the impressive, sheer limestone Echo Cliffs almost the entire way up the trail. On the Cathedral Rock trail there are log benches every 16th of a mile along the way for you to stop, sip water, and admire the views. After the junction for the Little Falls the trail steepens, but you are rewarded with increasingly spectacular views as you reach the summit of Cathedral Rock.

Turtlehead Mountain, or Turtlehead Peak as it is more commonly known, affords some of the best panoramic views of Red Rock. On clear days from the top of this limestone peak you can see views as far as Utah and Arizona! There is a summit register and plenty of room for you to relax, eat lunch, and snap some photos if its not too windy!
