Charleston Peak is a popular destination for hikers.
The summit offers panoramic views from the Sierra Nevada, Death Valley, and Las Vegas.
There are two well-marked and well-maintained trails to the summit: South Loop Trail  and North Loop Trail.
The trails can be done on their own as an out-and-back hike, or combined as a loop.
Both approaches involve a strenuous 16-mile+ round trip with over 4000 feet of climbing.
The hike often takes all day.
The hike is most accessible in the snow-free months of summer and fall.
