  • Mt. Charleston Scenic Byway Overview

    Published on Jun 24, 2004

    Mt. Charleston Scenic Byway offers a refreshing respite from its neon-laden neighbor. The byway begins at the desert floor, with its all-to-familiar thick sagebrush. The corridor then climbs into the rugged mountains, painted by blotches of Joshua trees, juniper, ponderosa pine, and white fir. The byway even draws the traveler very near to the bristlecone pine, one of the world's oldest plants.
