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 caes immediately behind them, which remain icy until later
in the year
