BristleconeLoop Trail This cool hike is even cooler because it ends with an ice-cold brew. Lee Canyon’s Bristlecone Loop Trail starts (and finishes) at the ski resort, making it the perfect destination for those with a thirst for the outdoors. Views along the trail are breathtaking, as are sightings of occasional wild horses — but the real highlights are Nevada’s two official state trees: the singleleaf pinyon and the bristlecone pine.
Fletcher Peak Just off the well-worn North Loop Trail, a stone’s throw from The Raintree, is a one-mile spur trail to a panoramic peak that is shockingly undervisited. Fletcher Peak overlooks Kyle Canyon, Fletcher Canyon, and Deer Creek; and offers phenomenal views from Mummy Mountain to Griffith Peak. Pro tip: Most people stop at a rocky outcrop one hill short of the true peak. Fletcher’s true highest point is surrounded in trees that block the view.
