    Tips

    Hiking

    The first quarter of a mile of the Upper Bristlecone Trail from the trailhead is along a fenced ridge line above the Mount Charleston Ski Area. On this flat section of trail, you pass several informational signs, including one about bristlecone pines and the restoration of rare plant. As well as one about butterfly habitat in this area (hence the fencing). You also travel through stands of ponderosa pine, aspen trees and past a viewpoint overlooking the ski area.
