Climbing Kyle Canyon up to Mount Charleston offers a very long 21 miles with a sustained ascent. It provides you with a dramatic escape from the Las Vegas desert heat into the cool mountain forests. Gaining over 4,400ft to reach altitudes around 7,700ft, expect a consistent climb averaging around 4.5%, with maximum gradients generally only reaching 7-9%. What will really please you on this climb is the striking scenery transition from Mojave Desert scrub to towering pines and limestone cliffs. Be prepared for potentially heavy recreational traffic, especially on weekends, and pack layers for the significant temperature drop at higher elevations.
