Getting to the Spring Mountains Visitor Center Trailhead
The Visitor Center is located in Kyle Canyon up in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, about 45 minutes northwest of Las Vegas.
From downtown, drive north on Highway 95 for 17.0 miles towards Reno. Just beyond the edge of urban Las Vegas, turn left onto Highway 157 (Kyle Canyon Road) towards Kyle Canyon.
Drive west on Kyle Canyon Road and head up the hill for 16.3 miles to a "round-about." Drive 3/4ths of the way around the loop and exit right under the ranch gate, which leads into the large visitor center parking lot. Continue towards the taller building ahead in the distance and find a convenient place to park.
From the parking lot, walk to the Visitor Center building, but turn left under the arch just before the front door. Walk down and left through the amphitheater and out the bottom. The trailhead sign marker post is just ahead. |
