North Loop

Mount Charleston

North Loop trail starts with Ponderosa Pines and White Fir on a maintained trail. It climbs to a Bristlecone Pine section with a 3,000 year+ Bristlecone Pine Tree called “Raintree” just past Fletcher Peak trail then onto Charleston peak.

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.
