Description
Mount Charleston is the highest mountain of the Spring Mountains of southern Nevada, approximately 35 miles northwest of Las Vegas. It is Nevada's eighth highest mountain peak[2], and is part of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, as well as the Mount Charleston Wilderness Area and the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area. Well separated from higher peaks by large, low basins, it is the most topographically prominent peak in Nevada, and the eighth most prominent peak in the contiguous United States.
Mount Charleston is a year-round getaway for Las Vegas' residents and visitors, with a number of hiking trails and a modest ski area. The mountain, which is snowcapped more than half the year, can be seen from parts of the Las Vegas Strip when looking toward the west. Mount Charleston has nearly 200 camp sites and over 150 picnic areas, some of which are RV accessible

it was 27 degrees F up at the ski area when I drove up early last week one morning and the wind was blowing so the wind chill was in the teens and me with only a light jacket
thanks for viewing and any comments. the very orange sky was partly due to the fires in Ca. on my trip home to Dallas, I could see smoke the whole trip.

The clean lines and earth tones of a NV panorama! Wonder what sort of POV the folks in the plane might have. I like the layering effect from bottom to top.

With all the times I've been to Vegas, I never knew that only 35 miles away it got cold enough for skiing. (I feel dumb saying that.) It's also mind-boggling that the orange color was from the fires we had/have and that you could see the smoke from them all the way home on your return to Dallas. Great shot!
