Sawmill Trailhead Trails | Lee Canyon | Mt Charleston Wilderness, Nevada
The Sawmill Trailhead area is relatively new. Trails here are marked with a color-coded system. However, unlike the higher altitude ridges and peaks accessed in Lee & Kyle Canyon and off Deer Creek Road, routes from the Sawmill Trailhead are mainly in pine forested areas, sometimes with few large reference points for navigation. The forests have their own beauty, but it’s easier to get lost in this maze of trails. Start out on simple routes and gradually expand to longer loop routes. You just may fall in love with this area!
