Upper Bristlecone Trail Head

Hiked the loop today and it was great. Took me about 3 to 3.5 hours to complete the 6 miles. If you plan on hiking the whole loop, I recommend starting from the Lower Bristlecone trailhead so you can walk downhill back to your car when you finish at the Upper Loop trailhead.

Perfect for a morning trail run!

Stunning views and beautiful trails. Serene and perfect temperature, nice break from the heat and the city hustle and bustle of Las Vegas

Easy trail, park at Lee Canyon. No bathroom facilities. Plan on an hour up and an hour down. There's a miniature summit after 45 minutes and its a great spot for pictures and a turnaround. It's about 30 degrees cooler than Las Vegas on a hot day. Snow stays until June. There's not a lot of direct sunlight but you'll burn without sunblock. Elevation is about 8800 feet throughout tje hike. You'll be panting early.
