Hillside Lodge’s Brewin’ Burro coffee shop is serving its summer menu. More information is available at www.leecanyonlv.com.
“Las Vegas loves great live music, and Lee Canyon’s landscape makes it a unique experience,” says Jim Seely, Lee Canyon’s director of marketing. “Our annual Mountain Fest event has been such a huge success that we wanted to continue a music in the mountains experience for locals and visitors.”
A great escape from the desert heat, Lee Canyon can be up to 25 degrees cooler than the city since its base area is 8,510 feet, and cool mountain breezes roll off of Lee Peak, an elevation of 11,289 feet. The summer season runs through Labor Day. Parking is free and first-come, first-served.
Outdoor locations at Lee Canyon are dog-friendly; however, pet owners must keep dogs on a leash. A full schedule of summer activities is at www.leecanyonlv.com.
