It's that time of year when the temps hit triple digits in the Vegas Valley which means it's also the time that we make regular escapes to cooler Mount Charleston. Cathedral Rock is one of our favorite trails because it's scenic and short, only about 35 minutes to the top. Along the way up, you are aided by a few stone steps and there are also benches for you to stop, have a seat, and enjoy the scenery. I do have to advise that you proceed with caution if you go with children, pets, or aren't exactly sober when you make the climb since there are no railings to prevent you from falling over the sides. The views at the top are fantastic and remind you why we're so fortunate to live so close to this beauty.
