The Griffith Saddle is where the trail junction for summits of Mount Charleston and Griffith Peak is located. You get amazing views of the two mountains and the surrounding area from this ridge. This long saddle and trail junction is a great place to stop, eat a snack, take some photos, and rest before the final push to either mountain (or both!).
