The next time you ascend Mount Charleston for a rejuvenating breath of alpine air, make a stop at the Spring Mountains Visitor Gateway (gomtcharleston.com), just off State Route 157. If we were a hillbilly militia, we’d happily occupy this U.S. Forest Service-run complex and enjoy its modest array of recreational amenities: interactive displays describing the local wildlife, volunteer hosts who can answer questions about trail conditions and a selection of snacks and drinks. It even offers Mount Charleston-specific merchandise, including a T-shirt that invites you to bike “Mt. Charlie.” Mock that if you will, but it beats “Vegas Golden Knights.”
