Robber's Roost Trailhead

The Robber's Roost 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 north on Highway 95 to Kyle Canyon Road (Highway 157; Table 1, Site 0667). Turn left onto Kyle Canyon Road and drive west, past the Spring Mountains Visitor Center, for 17.1 miles to Deer Creek Road (Highway 158; Site 0727).

Turn right onto Deer Creek Road and drive north for 3.4 miles to a large paved parking area on the right (east) side of the road (Site 0740). On the approach, the parking area is hard to see because it is on the inside of a hard, 90-degree bend to the right to cut across the hillside (which is clearly visible from back down the road).

Before the parking area is visible, there is a small Robber's Roost highway sign and a crosswalk. Turning into the parking area, an information kiosk becomes visible. Park here; this is the trailhead.

Robber's Roost Trailhead provides access the Robber's Roost Trail and trails in Telephone Canyon above and below the highway.
