Easter at the Mt. Charleston - Pasqua sul Monte Charleston



Yesterday Joseph and I have passed our Easter day at the Mt. Charleston, 30 minutes from Las Vegas, and we had lunch at the unique Mt. Charleston Lodge restaurant. After a not so light lunch, of course including a bottle of wine and alcoholic coffee, we had hiked towards the Mary Jane waterfall,  a 1,5 miles trail (one way) starting from 7870 ft and reaching 9270 ft.  The waterfall at the end wasn't too STRONG but the view of the mountains covered by snow was really breathtaking. On the way back we deviate to the Lee Canyon and I found out that there is a SKI AREA, next year I will be there every weekend

Ieri io e Joseph abbiamo passato la Pasqua al fresco sul Monte Charleston a circa 30 minuti da Las Vegas, e abbiamo pranzato in un tipico lodge, il Mt. Charleston lodge restaurant. Dopo pranzo non proprio leggero, vino e caffe' alcolico compresi, abbiamo camminato verso la cascata Mary Jane, un sentiero di circa 2,5 km (solo andata) partendo da un'altitudine di 2400 metri e arriva fino a 2800 metri. La cascata alla fine del sentiero non era proprio PIENA (due goccine) ma la vista sulle montagne innevate era davvero impagabile. Sulla via del ritorno abbiamo deviato per Lee Canyon e ho scoperto un COMPRENSORIO SCIISTICO, l'anno prossimo saro' li tutti i weekend!
