[8] Very similar to that of Flagstaff, Arizona though with rather less frequent and abundant monsoonal storms. In contrast to the arid climate of the rest of Nevada, precipitation as rain and melted snow is sufficient to support coniferous forests, with typically 11 inches or 0.28 meters of snow on the ground in February and a maximum monthly snowfall in a limited record of 89 inches or 2.26 meters in December 2010.

History

Charleston Park

According to historian Stanley W. Paher, Conrad Keil (a.k.a. Kyle) built a sawmill and cabin in Kyle Canyon circa 1870–1880. It is shown on a 1881 plat map as being across from Fletcher Canyon, where the historic US Forest Service Administrative Site is located. A 1929 plat map shows that area was serviced by a water pipeline from Fletcher Spring. The Civilian Conservation Corps Camp Charleston Mountain was based there beginning in 1933. According to NVCRIS archaeological records in the Nevada State Historical Preservation Office, another pipeline originating from Fletcher Spring was run to three water tanks on present day Mt. Charleston Church property, which serviced the 1950s-1980s era Young Ranch. The historic Young Ranch property is presently the Retreat on Charleston Peak and Spring Mountains Visitor Gateway.

Edmund W. Griffith initially established a campground in Kyle Canyon around 1905, concurrent with establishment of the Tule Station on the Las Vegas & Tonopah Railroad. His development, shown on the 1929 plat map to be in the present day Old Town Subdivision, was named Charleston Park. Griffith's Charleston Park Lodge (a.k.a. Griffith's Lodge) was built around 1915. A casino was later added to the lodge, which burned down in 1961. Historical postcards in the Pomona, Calif. Public Library show that lodge was at the present location of the Mt. Charleston Library and Volunteer Fire Department [11] [12] [13]

Mt. Charleston Lodge

Cabins at Mt. Charleston Lodge (2015)

The Mt. Charleston Lodge was a longtime restaurant located adjacent to Cathedral Subdivision at the end of Nevada Rte. 157 Kyle Canyon Road. By 1948, the Mt. Charleston Lodge included a rustic 25-room lodge and 13 cottages, and was owned by the owners of the Frontier casino in Las Vegas. [13] [14] [15]

A fire destroyed the Mt. Charleston Lodge on December 28, 1961. It took firefighters from Las Vegas more than an hour to reach the site, [16] and a fire station was later built in Old Town to help stop any future fires. [17] [18] The Bailey family, owners of the Hacienda resort in Las Vegas, also owned the Mt. Charleston Lodge at the time of the fire, [12] and they announced plans to rebuild it. Construction began in 1962. [19] [20] [21] Four years later, a 150-person restaurant was added to the Mt. Charleston Lodge, which also had a 100-person lounge and 15 slot machines. [22] The Orcutt family took over operations in 1974, [23] [24] and in 1994 added over a dozen cabins, [23] [25] [26] located next to the restaurant. [27] In 2018, it was sold to the Ellis family, which also owned the Ellis Island casino in Las Vegas. [28] [29]

On September 17, 2021, at approximately 4:45 a.m., a large fire destroyed the Mt. Charleston Lodge again. None of the adjacent cabins were damaged. [30] The fire originated in a storage area under an exterior deck, and was not considered suspicious, [31] although firefighters deemed the lodge a total loss. [32] The Ellis family plans to rebuild the lodge, [32] [33] which was a local landmark and a popular gathering spot for the community. [11] [32] [33] [34] The cabins reopened a week after the fire. [35] [36]

In mid-2022, the Ellis family opened a temporary restaurant on the site known as Pine Dining, [37] [38] [39] housed in a tent structure. Later that year, the family unveiled plans for a new Mt. Charleston Lodge that could include a hotel with more than 30 rooms. [40] [41]

The Mount Charleston Hotel was built along Kyle Canyon Road in 1984. [42] [43] It has 64 rooms and a restaurant. In 2008, it was purchased by The Siegel Group, which renovated and renamed it as the Resort on Mount Charleston. [43] [44] In 2018, it was sold again and renamed as the Retreat on Charleston Peak, following another renovation. [42] [45]

Canceled project

In 1996, plans were announced for the Mount Charleston Golf Resort to be built in the area, as part of a project known as Alpine Village. [46] [47] The golf course opened in July 1997, next to the Mount Charleston Hotel. Later that year, the golf course was put up for sale. A hotel had been planned to accompany the course, but it was never built. [48] Mount Charleston residents opposed plans for a shopping center that would also accompany the project. [49] [50] The shopping center was eventually rejected by the Clark County Commission. [51] [52]

The developer then started negotiations to swap the entire property with the federal government, [53] which eventually purchased the site in 2004. The golf course had never been a popular attraction, and the U.S. Forest Service intended to restore the land to its natural state. Unfinished buildings from the project would be demolished, and the Forest Service planned to build a recreational complex on the site. [54] [55] [56]
