camping the HIGHEST elevation in Mt Charleston
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 18 сен 2024
- This week we hit the road on a solo trip close to Las vega out to Mount Charleston. I wanted to find the highest elevation camp spot available on the mountain which was unfortunately not a dispersed location but instead location in McWilliams Campground almost at the top of the mountain under Lee Canyon ski resort!
We had a relaxing time out and got surprised by an unexpected storm that rolled in, little did I know it was the first sign of Hurricane Hillary and I luckily left before the entire mountain was evacuated!

Solo-camping is my FAVORITE. I'm an introvert and nothing is more relaxing to me than a night or two out on my own.
Agreed So relaxing! Thanks for watching!!
That salmon looks fantastic! I love watching you cook at camp sights.
Glad you enjoy it! Thanks for watching!
I go here with my two kids about 3 times a year, one of our favorite places to go camping.
Same! We love this area for camp, great place to escape the heat 🏕
Just found your site. Sharing with my camping group. Really enjoying your local videos. Good work! Learning some new places.Retired 2020 and bought Class C in 2021. Happy trails to you.
Thats awsome! Glad you found the channel and enjoy the content, Welcome! I'm always on the look out for new places to go around town, i'm always open to suggestions if you ever want to share. Thanks for watching Beth!
The MSBC & KBC stickers on your mug make me smile every time I see them!
Every time we go to AK we always bring back some coffee and beer! So good. Thanks for watching Craig!
WTH...I thought you had disappeared but RUclips just stopped sending notifications....Good to see you are still out there. Beautiful place.
Weird! RUclips does weird things though so im not surprised lol Thanks for checking in man! Cheers!
Thanks!! I'm hoping your will do a long term review on the Ignik. I've sorta been kicking the idea around because of all the fire bans in the summer, but it is a little pricy@@Kadenventures
Thanks for the suggestion! I'll put that on my video list, thanks Jay!@@vegasjay3624
thanks for the videos! what a great time!
Thank you!! Glad you enjoyed it. Cheers!
Hey neighbor , in Vegas . We enjoy watching your videos but I do solo camping once in a while and its great to get away!
Been up to Mt Charleston and haven’t camped up there for a while. Hopefully soon!
Glad you enjoy the content! Hopefully Mt Charleston opens up soon so you can get out there before it snows! Thanks for watching!
Yeah buddy🤙🏻😎 Being from the PNW i can say that any rain issue with the GFC are probably from real heavy but directed rain over many hours. The rain you experienced is not an issue at all. Just leave it open to let it dry so it does not mold.
No doubt! I had zero issues with the rain after this trip actually, just opened up the tent when I get home to let everything dry out which luckily is pretty fast in 100 degree heat lol!
good one. We've never camp there but we will this weekend or next weekend. Just want to get away for a while with this Las Vegas heat. Thanks and Subbed.
Thanks for the sub! It’s definitely a great area to escape the heat 🥵 we may be out there this weekend haha thanks for watching!
@@Kadenventures We just got back. We only did 1 night, but it was awesome. We definitely will do again.
Yo, as always, I enjoy watching your videos. I like that you mix it up with campgrounds as well as dispersed camping. That’s realistic in my opinion. Gotta love fresh Salmon too. Cheers!
Thank you! Glad you enjoy the mix, I'm not sure if people like the campground aspect but I like the easy access to sites like this makes life a bit easier vs trying to find dispersed camping spots lol definitely more realistic indeed. Thanks for watching!
Cheers broski!!
Cheers J! Thanks for watching!
You got this one in before the big flood.
Literally the DAY before that storm rolled in! I had no idea
Hopefully the road gets fixed fast, i wanted to camp up there before it gets too cold. I like that little fire pit.
For real! I havent heard any updates about the campground up there, is it closed too since Lee Canyon is also closed from all the storm damage
@@Kadenventures both roads were closed off last time i checked, they both had major damage to one or both sides.
@@swyoung69 Damn I did see the road damage but I thought they were still letting traffic through, such a bummer! Hopefully they dont stay closed long
@@Kadenventures I think local traffic only for now.
@@swyoung69 good to know 👌🏽
Beautiful campground! Are you going to build out your truckbed?
Yea eventually! Not sure when but maybe this year
I went to wild river campground in the white mountains recently on the Maine NH border. Send me an upload link and I’ll send my GFC setup picture.
I broke out the alpine chef wood stove recently seeing we are getting into colder temperatures.
Nice! Feel free to send the picture to my email kadenventures2@gmail.com. How are you liking the Alpine chef stove? Are you just running it outside at camp or are you pushing heat into the tent with it somehow??
I had a seam issue and they sent me shoe goo for the gap
Thanks Sunny! Good to know. I legit broke one of my zipper seams on the GFC over the weekend lol i'm planning on emailing GFC to ask what would be best to fix it
Mount Charleston RIP 🪦.
I left right before that storm rolled in! So crazy how much damage happened, I know Lee Canyon for sure is closed but i'm not sure about Mcwilliams?
TIME FOR A SUPER PACIFIC OR PROJECT M. THEN YOUR OEM RACK CAN GO BACK ON. 🤙
lol! idk.. I think if I ever upgrade from a GFC its going to be a hard sided camper like a Kimbo or Scout thatll fit on the Frontier but well see what happens! Thanks for watching!
Sucks that area is closed down right now
Yeah such a bummer.. glad I was able to get out there at least one more time before this storm thrashed the mountain
Curious who's your carrier? maybe a different carrier has serrvice out there.
I have AT&T maybe Verizon carriers get better signal up there lol
Might be a stupid question but where do I get that pass?
You can buy the America the Beautiful pass at any National Park or REI (or other outdoor stores). Or you can buy it online here: store.usgs.gov/recreational-passes
Thanks for watching Jim!
@@Kadenventures thanks Kaden maybe I see u out there one day
better to avoid 😮😢
Yea it’s unfortunate the amount of damage the storm has done but hopefully it’s cleaned up soon
The sign is poorly worded but I'm pretty sure you have to pay full price. Only the old or disabled pay half.
It said Interagency passes include the America the Beautiful passes along with the senior and disabled pass. I remember someone telling me that a while back but never knew what he was referring to until I read that sign there
How tall are you?
I’m not tall lol only 5’2
I forgot how much money it was to go camping
Yea it’s pretty crazy how much National park Campground fees are these days, thanks for watching Bryon!
