The Spring Mountains Visitor Center entrance sign (Spring Mountains National Recreation Area, Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest) in Kyle Canyon, with Charleston-area peaks behind. Small file (768x1024) and the sign predates the current Visitor Gateway building — it is the only Commons photo of the Mt. Charleston visitor-center site; flagged for a decision at integration time.
