We've changed our look! Discover Spring Mountains is now Go Mt. Charleston.

The Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, also known as Mt. Charleston, offers opportunities for year-round fun including hiking, camping, and picnicking, as well as snow-based activities in the winter. When you visit, join an interpretive hike with a naturalist to learn about the plants and animals unique to the Spring Mountains, attend a campfire program to learn how the mountains were formed, or trek through the snow on a guided snowshoe hike.
