Magnificent snow capped peaks on the Bristlecone Loop Trail in the Mount Charleston Wilderness area. The Bristlecone Loop Trail is a 6 mile loop with great views of the surrounding mountain peaks and several groves of Bristlecone Pines which can exceed 4000 years of age. This trail is popular and located next to the ski resort. Check out my Fall Gallery with beautiful autumn colors.

The Spring Mountains National Recreation Area is comprised of rugged mountains with towering cliffs, steep hillsides, and deep narrow canyons, which are surrounded by a desert landscape. The area’s elevation ranges from 3,000 feet to 11,918 feet at the top of Charleston Peak which creates a variety of climate and vegetation zones including some 18,000 acres of Bristlecone Pine.
