About the Author
Author, Andy Zdon, (Geology of the Las Vegas Region; Desert Summits: A Climbing & Hiking Guide to California and Southern Nevada) climbed his first desert peak, Telescope, in the winter of 1981, and has been climbing desert peaks ever since. His work as a professional hydrogeologist has taken him to many of the desert locations described in this book, including the Inyo Mountains, Providence Mountains, New York Mountains, Lanfair Valley, and the Lower Virgin River Valley. Zdon graduated in geology from Northern Arizona University in Flagstaff, Arizona. A passionate collector of books on mountaineering and the history of the desert southwest, Zdon consults in hydrology, geology and engineering geology. He lives at the foot of White Mountain Peak, America's highest desert summit.

Great Desert Hikes,
By blackturtle "blackturtle.us" (eastern CA desert) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deserts Summits: A Climbing & Hiking Guide to California & Southern Nevada (Paperback)
This book does a great job of describing the routes up desert summits throughout southern California and southern Nevada. Basic maps, photographs, and detailed descriptions of routes make it a highly informative book. I can personally attest to the accuracy of the directions for about forty of the hikes. Additionally, mining and natural history add to the depth of the presentation. The only summits left out of this book that I've climbed myself are those within the boundaries of military reservations (and so it's fair to say that this book is as complete as is legally possible). Those who already own the first edition of this book do not need to get the updated edition since very few substantial changes were made between the two editions.
