Editorial Reviews

Product Description
This book in the successful Afoot & Afield series takes you beyond the bright lights of the fastest growing metropolitan area in the United States to some of the most rugged, beautiful, and remote country around. Afoot & Afield Las Vegas & Southern Nevada features more than 100 trips within a three-hour drive of the Las Vegas Strip, including popular destinations such as Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Valley of Fire State Park, Death Valley National Park, and Mt. Charleston. It will also help you discover places you might not have heard of, such as Anniversary Narrows, Arrow Canyon, Bowl of Fire, and the Wee Thump Joshua Tree Wilderness.

The book showcases the diversity of the region's resources, from the geological wonders at Red Rocks to the rare life forms surviving in Mojave National Preserve to the ancient rock art found along the canyons and in the caves where prehistoric people lived.

Trips range from for an easy stroll to challenging treks in the rugged desert backcountry and include distance, time, elevation change, difficulty rating, and trail-use notes.

Over 100 detailed maps accompany the trail descriptions.

About the Author
In his work as the outdoors editor for the Reno Gazette-Journal and now as the conservation director for Friends of Nevada Wilderness, native-Nevadan Brian Beffort has explored the wide valleys, soaring peaks, and twisting canyons of Nevada. Some of his favorite landscapes are in Southern Nevada, near Las Vegas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best guide to southern Nevada, June 2, 2005
By Susan D. Potts (Las Vegas, NV) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is definitely the best guide available for hiking in the southern Nevada region. This book includes a wide variety of hikes with great descriptions of the areas and how to get to them. It has ideas for hikes of various lengths and difficulties and as well as information on conservation and safety. It includes great maps and photos and lists areas not found in most other guides. If you want to explore areas within a 3 hour drive of Las Vegas, this is the most comprehensive book I have found. I highly recommend it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Easy to Use, June 24, 2005
By William E. James (Las Vegas, Nevada) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have a long shelf full of southwest guidebooks. For the Las Vegas area, Beffort's book is the best choice for people unfamiliar with the desert. It has a good mix of easy and difficult hikes.

My sister and her husband recently visited Vegas while I was out of town. He was at a convention; she wanted to see something other than casinos. I turned her loose with a few suggestions and Beffort's book. She did three of the trips in the Spring Mountains and didn't get lost, uncharacteristic for her. The credit goes to good directions in the book.
