Bristlecone Trail, Mt. Charleston
 Even though this was my third visit here, it was the first time I hiked the entire 5.2 mile trail from its Upper Trailhead down to the Lower Trailhead, and must say I found it really enjoyable. The first two miles of this rather long hike had a mildly strenuous elevation gain of over 800 feet, however, the remainder of the hike was mostly downhill. Not only was it a beautiful day, the mountain air refreshing, the sounds of the forests soothing, the views in every direction were just outstanding. Be sure to check out the newly added slideshow at the bottom for pictures from all three of my visits here. Bristlecone Trail |
