Standing at 11,916 feet, Mount Charleston is the eighth highest mountain in Nevada and the highest mountain in Spring Mountains. This exposed, prominent peak is a proud accomplishment; whether you took the North or South Loops or combined the two to reach the summit, it is an over 16-mile round trip excursion with over 4,000 feet of climbing. At the summit you are rewarded with panoramic views of the entire Spring Mountains area, the Sierra Nevada, Death Valley, and the Las Vegas valley. This exposed, rocky summit is a great place to rest, eat snacks, drink water, sign the summit register, and take photos before beginning the long descent to the trailhead.
