Mary Jane Falls Trail - Mt Charleston NV

 


Mary Jane Falls Trail is a 2.5 mile heavily trafficked out and back trail located near Mount Charleston, Nevada that features a waterfall and is rated as moderate.


Some tall rock steps and lots of loose rocks so folks with knee problems should bring poles.

Biggest plus is how much cooler it is up here!


It had snowed the day before our hike,  


Nice views of the canyon walls throughout the hike.


This hike was definitely fun and boasted excellent views!


The trail itself is actually kind of a mess though with the switchbacks crumbling due to many hikers going off trial.


Plenty of people on the trail and did need to step aside to allow others to pass on the switchbacks.


The fall was a steady trickle but not much of a waterfall at this time.


Kathy on the way back down,  My favorite part of the hikes. 


A nice, moderate hike that was challenging at first because of the elevation.  All in all, a very good training hike for our upcoming rafting trip.
