    Hiking

    The North Loop Trail leads over numerous switchbacks into the alpine area around the corner from Las Vegas. Views of Charleston Peak, the highest of the Spring Mountains, and of the desert and Las Vegas are just a few of the rewards for climbing up into the fir-forested area at almost 10,000 feet (3,000 meters) and more.

    The trail leads to the Rain Tree, a 3,000-year-old, imposing Bristlecone Pine, and to the turnoff for Flechter Peak and Mummy Mountain.
