Kyle Canyon Slots Trail

broken image


Description of Area: The Kyle Canyon Slots is a short.2 mile one-way walk through a narrow slot, then through a somewhat longer narrow canyon, followed by a second narrow slot. More than 100 feet high, the canyon walls are made of cemented alluvial materials, and as such, exhibit considerable differences in erosions. Travel 3.2 miles north on State Route 158 (Deer Creek Road) from State Route 157 (Kyle Canyon Road). On the right is a parking area and the trailhead is on the left. This hiking is best from March until September. The trail is a short loop trail that climbs up a canyon to a couple of caves. The Fletcher Canyon Trail is a beautiful hike nestled in the Mt. Charleston Wilderness Area, within an hour of the Las Vegas Strip. The hike is a gradual uphill through a pine forest along a (mainly dormant) stream and ends in Fletcher Canyon, a beautiful slot canyon with 200 feet walls, water-polished rocks, and great views of Mummy Mountain. Follow the Showgirl Trail and the Trough Trail down to Telephone Canyon then find the Showgirl Trail again to cross over to the mouth of a canyon that forks off of Telephone Canyon near Kyle Canyon Road. This canyon has five interesting dry falls to negotiate. The canyon will fork to the left into a wash that returns the hiker to the trailhead. The lesser know area of Mount Charleston (Kyle Canyon) is the northern canyon of Lee Canyon, home the the Las Vegas Ski and Snowboard Resort. The hiking in this area is limited to the spectacular 6.1-mile Bristlecone Trail. Along this trail, hikers find ancient bristlecone trees, battered by cold temperatures and fierce wind.
