Editorial Reviews

Product Description
Picks up where Hiking Las Vegas left off. It contains 23 hikes around Lake Mead National Recreation Area and Valley of Fire, Mt. Charleston and Red Rock Canyon.

About the Author
Branch Whitney first visited the mountains (Rockies) at the age of seven and knew immediately that he wanted to climb them. Within two weeks of moving to Las Vegas in 1983, he bagged Mt. Charleston. Since then, he's logged more than 2,000 miles hiking the trails, paths, and mutes surrounding Las Vegas. These days, he stays busy leading hikes for the Sierra Club and the Las Vegas Mountaineer's Club, and also maintaining his web site. Anyone who would like to share ideas, tips, favorite hikes, or noteworthy experiences on the trails of Southern Nevada can contact Branch at. Branch Whitney c/o Huntington Press 3665 Procyon St Las Vegas, Nevada 89103

3.0 out of 5 stars take more than this book with you, September 10, 2004
Whitney provides a great number of interesting hikes for your adventures, but don't take his word on everything. Be sure to take a topographic map and get advice from park rangers before heading out on day hikes or backpacking trips. I have used Whitney's books on numerous hikes and have found discrepancies on water availability and I disagree avidly on his opinion of "a great hike". He is accurate on difficulty ratings and distances, but check with the visitor's center to verify water sources and directions for the trail or route and MOST IMPORTANTLY, get recommendations from people who have recently hiked your choice of trails.

4.0 out of 5 stars Loved this book!, October 15, 2006
I agree with the other review to some extent- but it can't be blamed on the book. Water avaialability will greatly vary depending on season. And no matter how good your guide may be, you should always consult local rangers and have topo map for anything not 'trailed'. I also have Afoot and Afeild and HATE it. It wasn't descriptive enough and made things far more confusing than necessary. Hiking Southern Nevada and Las Vegas both have been valuable tools for planning trips and selecting hikes. Then we gather our 'background' info before heading out.
