If you're in supurb shape, hiking Mount Charleston would be a long day
hike. Kinda neat because of the bristlecone pines and the long views.
In Red Rock Canyon, if you have the time, Bridge Mountain would be a
challenge. It'll get you up on top of the escarpment, which I think
is an outstanding view (even if you chicken out before actually
tackling Bridge Mountain itself, which I did).
