    Only an hour from Las Vegas you will find yourself in cool[er] mountain air and among pine trees. Take I-15 to 95 to 157.
    .
    You can visit the Spring Mountain Visitor Center and have lunch at the Mt. Charleston Hotel. Or even spend the night :)

    Mount Charleston is a great place to get away from the business and the lights of Vegas (and they do grow on you!) It takes between 40 minutes and a hour to get there. It is the big mountain you can see from the strip. Once you get to the top, the hotel/resort sits about 9,000+ feet high. Be careful, it gets cold sometimes! We came from the Strip which was in the seventies and by the time we got up most of the mountain, it was snowing hard.

    only an hours drive from las vegas is an actuall forest, can you believe it???? it even snows up there in the winter, and we can ski !!!! for some reason people only think of cactus,casino,cathouse, and concrete when they think of las vegas...but thats so not all we have..take the 95 north to mt charleston exit...from there you go from desert to forest in 45 minutes..on your left you will first see the new mt charelston hotel, it's nice but keep driving ( really don't stop ) up the hill a little bit more is the mount charleston lodge... this is old school vegas baby!!! they have a great bar...get a baileys and coffee, or for the brave scotch drinkers get the house special mount charleston coffee... to much for me!! they have two patio's the main one is the best you see the whole mountain... they have food which is a little pricey for what you get, but it's good! the best part of this place is the fireplace in the middle of the lounge..in the winter it's the best!!
    if you wanna make a weekend out of it they have cabins for rent, which all come with a jaccuzzi, and a porch with the most fantastic views...request the rooms at the end, so you don't have a cabin below you... bring some champagne, or buy some from the bar.... great time !

    Mt. Charleston is an awesome place to go and hike around in the summer and is even better to ski at. The slopes are not to over run with people. But remember this is not Mammoth or Sugarloaf it is just a nice little place to ski.
    (Snowboarders please go back to California)

    On a HOT Aug. day, a ride up to Mt. Charleston can be very refreshing. The higher you go, the cooler and greener it gets. At the end of the road is a nice lodge with restaurant and cabins. In the winter, this is a ski area. In the summer, there are lots of hiking trails. There is even a really nice camp ground up there. It took about 45 minutes to drive up there from Vegas.

    Actually this isnt that far from Vegas but it could as well be a million miles away.
    Having looked out of hotel window at the desert surrounding Vegas it was hard to believe just a short drive away we where in an Alpine setting.
    Also amazing was that for all the millions of tourists in Vegas nobody seemed in the least bit interested in visiting this beatiful area.

    Mt. Charleston and Lake Mead are great for getting away from the city. Mt. Charleston has camping grounds, cabins for rent, and a great hotel. Eat in a nice restaurant or roast marshmallows, its up to you. Lake Mead offers your choice of water sports. Jet Skis are available for rent as are boats. Also great for camping the view is nice and the waters warm in the summer, be careful though, the water is not the cleanest wouldn't advise getting to wet.

    On the way to Mount Charleston, got this picture of a coyote from the side of the road - and only 15minutes outside Las Vegas city limits. Most people never leave the 'Strip', but 'Vegas has a lot more to offer than just gambling.

    That's Mount Charleston with the snow on top. This was taken at about the same location that we saw the coyote. Another 20 minutes up this road and the temperatures drop 10-15 degrees. The day (in May) that we drove through you could feel and see the difference, cactus and other plants were still in bloom as you started up the mountain - the same plants were past their 'season' on the valley floor.
