The Juniper Trailhead is located up in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area (also known as Mt. Charleston) between Kyle and Lee canyons, about 1 hour northwest of Las Vegas.

From town, drive north on Highway 95 to Kyle Canyon Road (Highway 157). Turn left onto Kyle Canyon Road and drive west, past the Spring Mountains Visitor Center, for 17.1 miles to Deer Creek Road (Highway 158).

Turn right onto Deer Creek Road and drive north for 4.6 miles to the Hilltop Campground Turnoff (Table 1, Site 1271). Turn right onto Lucky Strike Road and drive east. When the road forks for the campground, stay right towards the correctional facility. Drive 0.6 miles to the trailhead (Site 1840), on the right. Watch for a gravel parking area on the south (right) side of the road with a restroom building and trailhead signs. Park here; this is the trailhead.

Juniper Trailhead provides access to several trails and routes, starting with the Showgirl Trail and trails that branch off from it.
