This is not all that Mount Charleston has to offer. Most of all Mount Charleston is a place to escape from the Las Vegas rush and heat. It is surprising how many residents of Las Vegas do not take advantage of this wonderful and rejuvenating place. Mount Charleston is located 45 minutes from Las Vegas. This cooler, wooded retreat offers picnicking facilities and hiking trails.
