This trailhead, near the Mount Charleston Lodge, is where several popular trails in Kyle Canyon begin, including the Cathedral Rock, Little Falls, Griffith Peak and South Loop trails. You can also access popular rock climbing areas in the Echo Cliffs from this trailhead. There are pit toilets and trash cans located in the lot. Be aware: parking spaces are very limited, especially in the summer and fall months when people from Las Vegas valley flock to the mountains to escape the heat and view the aspen groves!
