Mt Charleston Excursion

It seemed like a good time to escape the heat of Las Vegas and spend some time at Mt Charleston. Perfect weather and two major blisters as we completed a 3 mile hike. Low to mid 70s and a perfect day to enjoy the mountain.

 My son conquering nature
 
 I'm still smiling, Must be before the blisters started.
 
 The trees were gorgeous with the hint of a cool breeze blowing through the leaves.
 
 Up and above
 
 Love the color and texture of this old tree. I found out that a lightning strike spiraled down the trunk of this tree causing the unusual texture.
 
 1.5 miles later. Gorgeous.
 
 Wonderful view and perfect day
