The Fletcher Canyon Trailhead is located up in the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area (also known as Mt. Charleston), about 45 minutes northwest of Las Vegas. From town, drive out to the Spring Mountains Visitor Center, then continue on Kyle Canyon Road for about 1.7 miles. Watch for a "pedestrian crossing" sign, a "Fletcher Canyon Trail" sign, and a painted crosswalk.

There are two parking areas for this trailhead (Table 1, Site 1003). The first is on the left side of the road just before the Fletcher Canyon Trail crosswalk. This is just a paved wide spot on the side of Kyle Canyon Road.

The second parking area is just past the crosswalk on the left, but it is a defined parking lot with a restroom that is set off from the roadway. Park here; this is the better trailhead parking.

Alternatively, from Deer Creek Road at Kyle Canyon Road (Site 0727), turn right onto Kyle Canyon Road and drive west for 0.5 miles to Fletcher Canyon Trailhead (Site 1003).

The actual trailhead (start of the hiking trail) is marked by signs on the north side of the road. Be careful crossing the highway to the beginning of the trail.

Fletcher Canyon Trailhead provides access to Fletcher Canyon Trail and routes that lead to Fletcher Peak, Stanley B Spring, and other locations on the north side of Kyle Canyon. It also provides access to the Acastus Trail, an accessible trail that runs on the south side of Kyle Wash all the way east to the Mt. Charleston Visitor Center.
