Lee Peak Adventures Overview | Mt Charleston Wilderness | Spring Mountains, Nevada

Lee Peak, often overlooked, is the one summit in the Mt. Charleston Wilderness that offers expansive views down the entire length of Kyle Canyon, Lee Canyon and the Northern stretch of the Spring Mountains. To stand on that summit is like standing on the bow of a ship! At the same time, the surrounding Bristlecone Pine forest gives it an intimate touch.

Juniper Peak Summit | Rainbow Mountain Wilderness, Nevada

If you’re looking to climb your first peak in the Rainbow Mountains, Juniper Peak is a good start. Many of the surrounding peaks dwarf it in comparison: Mt. Wilson; Rainbow Mountain; Bridge Mountain. Experience all the beauty and challenge of a Jurassic Era Aztec red rock peak in the Rainbow Mountains of Nevada. When you are facing Juniper Peak there appear to be 3 routes from the Red Rock Park side: Two narrow chutes to the left and what looks like a more gradual approach to the right. I ended up selecting the middle of these routes – the right chute of the two chutes to the left. Hindsight says that the easier, and likely the more traditional route is the more gradual climb up the slope on the right (just before Pine Creek Canyon).
