@@selectshelley It looks like it will be quite some time before there is a new lodge. The fire wasn't a forest fire, it was a fire that broke out in materials stored under a porch. So far, all they have done is to raze the old place. All that's there now is a vacant lot. They wasted this entire season, and now they'll have to wait until next spring to get anything done. There won't be enough time to rebuild now before the winter weather arrives.
3:25 That's the Deer Creek Picnic Area. If you go on a non-holiday weekday, you'll probably get a table. It's a beautiful spot. Go on a weekend, and just assume you'll be having your picnic next to your car in the parking lot. There will literally be 10 times as many people as picnic tables. For most of the official picnic areas along Kyle Canyon Road or Lee Canyon Road, there will be a day use fee. One of the picnic areas along Kyle Canyon Road generally gets turned into a campground when the nearby Fletcher Canyon campground fills up. Which it always does during summer. The place can be an absolute zoo on any holiday weekend. People adjust, and any spot anywhere along the road where you can park with all four wheels outside the white line, will become an impromptu picnic spot. On July 4 or Labor Day, Mount Charleston is more like the Mall of America than a peaceful retreat.
Hey Nakia, so sorry we're just now responding as we're catching up on the messages here! We can't blame you...Mt. Charleston is such a wonderful spot. Did you already move?

It all depends on their human. Dogs appear to be perfectly fine romping around being dogs. But too many people insist on forcing their dogs to go all the way up long and difficult trails, with serious elevation gains of 600 - 800 feet. Sadly, I personally have seen two dogs die on trails during the 15 years I have been a regular hiker up there. I have seen a dog collapse on the trail, unable to go any farther, and the owner yelling at it to get up and get going. (On that occasion, I picked the dog up myself, and told the owner "It's a long way down, so I'll help you carry the poor thing back. I'll take the first leg". After that, if he wanted to stop me he was going to have to fight a feisty 75 year old woman.)
Oh no! Five days after we posted this video the lodge burned down! They are temporarily closed but plan to open again! bit.ly/CGLifestyle
Oh my gosh, being from Southern Calif. I know about fires and the destruction. I hope the the lodge is open and operational again by now.

Yeah, it's a pretty popular spot. You just have to plan accordingly to see it! Thank you for your additional insight.
Thank you, this is useful. I'm inspired!
Do not belittle a super mutant for taking the bunny slope.
Just gorgeous. Nevada is an amazing place.
Right? Nevada's natural beauty is definitely underrated!
Most of Nevada is mostly beautiful....everywhere except the las vegas strip and about a 5mile radius around it.
We are going there for the first time. I wanted to get an overview of what to expect. I got it. Thanks.
Hey that's why we made this video! Thanks for letting us know! Have a great trip out there!
gorgeous video!
Love it
Thanks. Nice presentation. It would be nice to see more of Mt. Charleston and know more (if there is much more to know).
Hey Shelly, thank you for watching! Don't worry, there is more to come! :-)
Great video!
Thanks!!
55 minutes from las vegas strip
Was an informative video but music was annoying. Lower volume or omit, would make ur vids better
Sorry it annoyed you....hopefully our latest videos are more to your liking!
Are there any trails u can recommend if you're scared of heights? thanks
I'm expecting a ton of people. How early should I be there to be able to park?
I'm looking to move to Mt. Charleston from vegas city Limits.

Nice place, but too many Super Mutants for my taste.
Super Mutants?

Is the elevation bad for dogs?
Apparently it depends. You'll have to do some research. Here's an article I found on how altitude affects dogs: bit.ly/3poEwzP
