Here are two photos from my family’s campout this week at Mt. Charleston’s Hilltop campground.
Looking southeast from Mt. Charleston's Hilltop campground, into the Las Vegas valley.
Las Vegas sits at around 2000 feet above sea level; this campground, 8400 feet. To help visualize the distances here, see that little white line sticking up from the valley on the right? That’s the Stratosphere Tower. It’s 1149 feet tall.
I tried to get a shot of this view at night, with a mostly full moon hanging over the city lights, but my camera isn’t strong enough.
Looking northeast from Hilltop campground across the Nevada interior
I didn’t know Nevada could look beautiful…
Thanks for sharing…
Thank you. It would be even better if I’d thought to put my wife in the picture!
