Charleston > Fletcher Canyon

Fletcher Canyon trail runs up a forested canyon surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and a beautiful mountain creek to a narrow canyon with walls that are just a few feet apart and about 200 feet high. This hike has a great view of Fletcher Peak and the occasional deer with the possibility of the occasional Chipmunk.

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.
