Discover the natural wonderland of Lee Canyon, where hiking becomes an extraordinary adventure just 45 minutes away from the vibrant city of Las Vegas. Located in the heart of Mt. Charleston, our hiking trails offer a chance to explore the great outdoors.
Explore the Bristlecone Trail, a captivating 6.5-mile loop that winds through a mesmerizing forest of ancient ponderosa pines. This moderate hike leads to a breathtaking scenic overlook, where you’ll encounter groves of bristlecone pines that have stood for millennia, some over 4,800 years old! It’s a journey through time and nature like no other.
Prefer a shorter stroll? Our Nature Loop, less than a mile in length, invites you to immerse yourself in the serene ambiance of quaking aspens. Accessible from the resort or the Upper Bristlecone Trail, it’s a perfect escape into the lush wilderness.
