Mount Charleston - Mary Jane Falls Trail
Fed by separate springs, the falls are at their strongest in early summer, but that's not a good time to enter the caves immediately behind them, which remain icy until later in the year
 

 

Beyond Mount Charleston Hotel, you pass from the lower "life zone" of yuccas and cactuses into forests of pine, fir, and mahogany. Hwy-158 branches right in less than a mile, and then half a mile beyond that the Kyle Guard and Information Station (Mon & Thurs-Sun 9am-4pm) is tucked amid the trees on the left. Rangers here can supply trail guides and up-to-date weather forecasts.

A mile or so past the ranger station, Hwy-157 doubles back sharply on itself and starts back along the other side of Kyle Canyon. However, a short spur road, Echo Road , keeps going straight on for a few hundred yards up to the trailhead for the Mary Jane Falls Trail . This 2.5-mile round-trip hike follows a disused road for a little under a mile, before requiring hikers to ascend a series of exhausting switchbacks to reach the twin Mary Jane Falls at the head of the canyon. Fed by separate springs, the falls are at their strongest in early summer, but that's not a good time to enter the caves immediately behind them, which remain icy until later in the year
