- There's incredible nature just outside of Las Vegas! Mount Charleston is the closest forest, less than 45 min from town.
In This Video - We find a few desert mountain springs, make it to one of the oldest living trees, and reach the tallest peak in Southern Nevada, all with a nights worth of food, water and camp - on our backs.

Thanks For Watching, See ya in the next one! ✌🏽
This was and still my favorite mountain especially when it’s snowing
Nice video; Thanks!
I hiked up the South trail, and down the North, in about 1992. What I recall are the wonderful smells; the light sound of breezes blowing gently through the pine needles; the sounds of bees and hummingbirds working nearby; and the magnificent views.
I remember that just as we came out of the tree line and onto the rocky final climb to the summit, here comes a guy descending on a bicycle! He told me that he had pedaled practically all the way up, and that he was dreading the descent, with all the jarring he expected to encounter.
I remember that the North trail includes a few precipitous spots where you dare not slip and fall - but only a few.
Oh, and the temperature was perfect. I cannot remember the time of year, but I believe that Las Vegas was hitting highs around 108.
That thirteen-hour hike was one of the highlights of my life! I would so love to do it again, but I'm 75 now, so no. But boy, what a memory!
What a memory! So well said, hope the video captures it how you remember the trail!
Great video, I am a new local to Vegas, looking forward to my own hikes and seeing more of your videos!
My GF and I hiked to Rain tree last weekend. It was amazing hike!
The most beautiful wilderness I've ever been in. Thanks for this.
Thank you Art!
Cool video, what program or app do you use to show that map 3d map view?
Very cool video and I am seriously impressed.
Thank you!
Always enjoy your videos. This time was no exception. Thanks so much!
Thank you!
Absolutely amazing nice sound. Guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak. Add this sound in your bucket list. Keep the peak I mentioned to you in future feel himalayan sound. 😋
Whenever you start a short solo trip of 4-5 days, Moses Peak is a must. It is a 5300m height۔ from the top of moses pea which you can see the views of the K2 world second highest peak in the world, Nangaparbat, K6 k11 and K 12 views in one frame. best time from May to October. This is a family tracked.its open Zone, one did not need a trekking permit or have to pay Royalty fee to climbed this Mountain tower
Hey! Would love to know what you used to film this video? The quality and videography are amazing !
Filmed this with Sony a7s3 and a 24-70 mm lens! Glad you like it!
I know a lady who rides horseback to the top, to take supplies to park rangers who keep the trails nice.
Very cool hike and camp. Was wondering what was the bottle you used to filter the spring waters?
Thank you! We use the Grayl water bottle!
I tried hiking up there a few times, but 8k+ proved to difficult for me. A lifetime at sea level and subpar genetics has restricted my adventures to 4k-
Haha at least theres plenty to explore below 4000 feet elevation!
Was this before the flood closures? Are the trails open now?
This was filmed before the floods 🥲 I believe all trails are still closed
