directions.
Challenging. 4 miles. Cross country trail into a wash. Return the same way.

Difficult. 5 miles. 700' elevation gain. Hike begins at the junction of Lee Canyon
Road and Deer Creek Road. It could more aptly be named "the mob car burial"
hike as it passes numerous camp sites and bullet-ridden vintage cars. It loops
through a small, picturesque slot canyon before returning to the parking area.
Strenuous. 4 miles. 1800' elevation gain. Start at Stanley B Springs,
traveling in a clockwise loop, to the saddle. Then descend a steep, faint
trail 3/4 mile into upper Fletcher Canyon, with great views and obstacles.
Upper Fletcher Canyon has a well defined trail that follows a creek to the
rock. Then through the rabbit hole to where Fletcher Canyon ends. Hike to
the Fletcher Canyon trail head. Car shuttle required. Hawk Certificate Eligible.
Difficult. 3 miles. 900' elevation gain to a peak of 8,600'. The trail starts off easy,
flattens out, then becomes steep before reaching the peak. Save your energy for
the last quarter mile! Great view of Kyle Canyon. Trailhead near Mt Charleston
Lodge.Quail Certificate Eligible.
Strenuous. 4 miles. 1000’ elevation gain. Park at the Upper Bristlecone
trailhead. Hike this trail for about a mile and then turn left onto a side trail that
climbs a very steep hill to a saddle above Wallace Canyon. Continue on a faint
trail to the site of a 1978 crash of a light plane, which is still intact. Hiking poles
are highly recommended. Hawk Certificate Eligible.
Difficult. 8 miles. 1200' elevation gain. Hike begins at the Upper Bristlecone
trailhead and follows this trail about 3 miles to the Bonanza Trail. Turn onto the
