One of the tallest waterfalls in the Mount Charleston region, Mary Jane Falls is located in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, a short trip from Las Vegas. The very popular hike to the falls starts at a parking lot next to a former campground that was washed away in 1971 by a flash flood. The trail follows the edge of Kyle Canyon on about a mile-long gradual, easy climb. After that, you will have about a mile of switchbacks towards the canyon’s northeastern side before reaching the falls. Enjoy the shade and the cool, fragrant air, with a 10-15 degree difference in temperature from Las Vegas. The falls drop from a high rock wall into a refreshing pool – a perfect spot to cool off.

Address: Las Vegas, Nevada
