Description
Afoot & Afield Las Vegas & Southern Nevada features more than 100 trips within a three-hour drive of the Las Vegas Strip. It covers popular destinations such as Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Valley of Fire State Park, and Death Valley National Park. It also reveals lesser- known places, such as Anniversary Narrows, Arrow Canyon, Bowl of Fire, and the Wee Thump Joshua Tree Wilderness. Trips range from for an easy stroll to challenging treks in the rugged desert backcountry. 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.
