Mountain lion seen roaming near Mount Charleston, NHP says

Updated May 12, 2020 - 1:03 pm

A mountain lion has recently been seen in the Mount Charleston area, the Nevada Highway Patrol said Tuesday.

The Highway Patrol posted on Twitter that the mountain lion has been “making the rounds recently” along Kyle Canyon Road at higher elevations in the Mount Charleston area.

Sightings of the big cats are rare for the mountain town near the Las Vegas Valley, but the Highway Patrol warned residents to keep pets on leashes and be careful of leaving trash out and unsecured, especially food.
