The Best Hiking Las Vegas: 10 Trails Near Sin City | Condé Nast Traveler
"Located near the Mount Charleston Restaurant and Lounge in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, this 2.8-mile out-and-back is a popular choice in the summer as the temps can be 20-30° lower than in downtown Las Vegas. Rising through aspens and evergreens, this short but steep moderate hike will gain 1000’, taking you to the summit of Cathedral Rock at 8,603’. There are many campgrounds along the Kyle Canyon Road."
