TRAVEL TIP: Just because it’s cooler on Mount Charleston doesn’t mean you can skip taking precautions! Bring lots of water and sunscreen—dehydration and sun exposure are still a risk because of its higher elevation.
TRAVEL TIP: When hiking around Las Vegas, it is important to keep an eye on the weather forecast and plan accordingly. Las Vegas and its surrounding area are part of the Mojave Desert, and it can get incredibly hot—temperatures exceeding 110℉ (43℃) hot. In some locations, such as Death Valley, the National Park Service recommends that you “travel prepared to survive” and avoid hiking after 10am.
