Beat the Heat this Summer With Your Mt. Charleston Wedding!

Mount Charleston is only 35 miles northwest of the Las Vegas Valley, but at a peak elevation of 11,918 feet, Mt. Charleston averages 20-30 degrees cooler than Las Vegas making it a popular summer wedding destination. It is located in the Spring Mountains, which run along the western edge of the Las Vegas Valley. Tourists and locals alike have found that the Spring Mountains and Charleston Peak are a great place to escape from the sweltering summer heat. The temperature is usually about 20-30 degrees cooler in the mountains than it is on the desert floor.

As you take your scenic limousine drive up the mountain, you will not only experience a difference in the temperature, but you will also see changes in vegetation. At the lowest level, which is 2,080 feet, you will find Joshua Trees. As you continue your ascent, cedar trees begin to line the road, and once you have reached the mountain's uppermost region you'll be surrounded by an Alpine forest. Also be on the lookout for acres of Bristlecone Pine. The Bristlecone Pine, looking unlike any pine tree you might expect to see, is the oldest known life form on earth. It is also one of two trees designated as the state tree of Nevada. You will have some amazing wedding photos taken with all the varied scenery that Mt. Charleston has to offer.
