How Far Is Lee Canyon From Las Vegas?

Lee Canyon Weather
Lee Canyon’s weather is a stark contrast from the Las Vegas desert. Part of the Spring Mountains, Lee Canyon and nearby Mount Charleston are some of the most ultra-prominent mountains in the entire state, starkly jutting out of the Las Vegas Valley below. Traveling from the valley to Lee Canyon means driving through a spectacular seven climate zones—a change in habitat similar to traveling from Mexico to the Canadian arctic in less than 20 miles.
Diverse outdoor recreation beckons outdoorsmen and women of all kinds to the Spring Mountains year-round, and Lee Canyon sees snow from December to March. During the summer months, retreating to higher elevations is a welcome oasis from the intense heat of the Las Vegas area. Cooler temps make hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, and wildlife viewing all the more enjoyable.
