Areas Closed on the SMNRA (Mt. Charleston)

A few of the most popular roads, trails, and developed recreation sites in Deer Creek, Kyle, and Lee Canyons on the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area sustained severe damage during Tropical Storm Hillary and are unsafe to use. They still need significant work to make them accessible to the public and will remain closed indefinitely under a Forest Closure Order. These sites include...

• Deer Creek Road (Nevada State Routes 158): Deer Creek Picnic Area
• Kyle Canyon (Nevada State Routes 157): Mary Jane Falls and Trail Canyon Trailheads and Trails*, Cathedral Rock Trail*, Echo Road* and Powerline Access Road
• Lee Canyon (Nevada State Routes 156): Upper Bristlecone Trailhead and Trail

*Upper Kyle Canyon Complex

The Forest Service and partners are working hard to reduce some of the area closures caused by Tropical Storm Hilary on the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area throughout the summer. As sections of closed areas reopen, they will be announced on the Go Mt. Charleston’s web page at http://www.gomtcharleston.com and posted at https://www.facebook.com/GoMtCharleston or https://twitter.com/GoMtCharleston.
