| - Home of Mount Charleston, Trail Canyon, Mary Jane Falls, Cathedral Rock, and more, SMNRA is one of our favorite places to beat the heat in the summer time, or even now as it's starting to warm up. Escape to the mountains where it's cooler and bask in the greenery, trails, the sound of birds singing, and maybe spy a deer or two.
If you're pressed for time, Cathedral Rock is a quick hike that's not too strenuous. If you have more time and want an excellent cardio workout instead of being stuck in a gym on the Stairmaster, head to Trail Canyon. Mary Jane Falls is popular with all ages and even though there isn't a huge waterfall at the end, you will see some water, though it could actually be a trickle depending on if there was any recent rainfall.
Get here early if you want to avoid the crowds on the weekends, remember to bring hydration, and leave no trace, i.e. don't litter--happy trails to you!
