The climate is very different from one part of the Forest to the other. Areas of the Forest are arid and desert-like in character and climate. The foothills of the Las Vegas District are characteristic of this arid and desert character regime. At the other extreme are numerous high elevation areas, 11,000 feet and above, that are subalpine in every respect, including climatic conditions. For instance, Mt. Charleston on the Las Vegas District, at 11,918 feet, numerous peaks in the Hoover Wilderness and several peaks in central Nevada which are 11,000 feet and above are just a few examples.
