Fletcher Canyon Falls
Fletcher Canyon Trail follows a creek through forest into a deep, slot-like section of water-polished limestone in the Mount Charleston Wilderness, where a small seasonal waterfall forms after snowmelt. The roughly 4.2-mile round-trip hike narrows and requires some scrambling near its upper end.
Before you go
Waterfalls are hazardous by nature — wet rock, cold water, and unstable edges — and flow varies enormously with season and recent rain. Trail figures here describe the route as documented, not conditions today. Check Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest (Spring Mountains NRA) for closures and current conditions, and confirm land status before setting out.
