Active Bears - Hike Mary Jane Falls

The Active Bears Committee is pleased to announce their first event. In coordination with the Bears Attack Mt. Charleston, the Active Bears will be venturing to Mary Jane Falls on Saturday May 17th. Meet at Fletcher View Campground no later than 9:30 am and hike to Mary Jane Falls. The Mary Jane Falls Trail is fairly strenuous, climbing almost 1,100 feet in 1.6 miles. The trail starts in the bottom of Kyle Canyon, which at this point is deep, heavily forested, and surrounded by beautiful gray limestone cliffs. In the first 0.7 miles, the trail climbs 450 feet, then turns right into a side canyon and climbs another 650 feet to the falls in the remaining 0.9 mile. The falls are seasonal; the best flows occur during spring when the snow is melting. Be sure to wear good hiking shoes / boots and bring water, and a snack for energy (jerky, trail mix, fruit etc.).
