3 Best Day Trips from Las Vegas | Condé Nast Traveler
"Mary Jane Falls is a busy hiking trail that's a relatively easy 1.6 mile walk through quaking aspen and ponderosa pines. It's one of the most popular hikes on Mount Charleston for families. Mary Jane Falls is a completely seasonal hike. It's inaccessible during the winter, and usually dry in the summer. Because it's formed completely by snowmelt, it's at its peak in the spring. To reach it, you'll follow a rocky path, climbing nine switchbacks to reach the limestone rock at the base of the falls. For those seeking hiking solitude, you likely won't find it here (at least in the spring). It's a popular hiking spot for families; for those who want to challenge their kids just a bit, and see a natural wonder." - Andrea Bennett
