Afoot and Afield: Las Vegas and Southern Nevada Jan 07, 2010
I am new to hiking in the Vegas area and have found this book to be the most complete reference guide out there. I was glad to see such a detailed explanation of each area as well as the trails. Definite thumbs up.
Afoot & Afield Jan 12, 2009
Intersting and informative. Divided into regions (north, south, east west) for easy selection. Includes highlights about each hike and info on the trailhead. Altho we live in the area, had no idea there were so many hiking trails. A very useful book.
 A nice overview of natural Las Vegas and Southern Nevada Jan 11, 2009
I grew up in Las Vegas but moved out decades ago. But as a kid I didn't pay much attention to hikes and birding. This guide seems to cover the area in more detail than others and offers a nice assortment of day trips focused around the city and surrounding area. Though some of the outings, especially Death Valley are a bit far to really explore in a day.
With the recent downturn in the economy, Vegas has been hit pretty hard and you can find great bargains there. So for our winter escape from the gray Northwest we are heading there to enjoy some sun, red rock canyons and birding. Catching a show or two will be a nice bonus. For the nature part we feel well armed with this guide.

One Awesome Book Apr 14, 2008
One hell of a book. Great descriptions of hikes in around the vegas area. As well as a few extra bonuses with Death Valley and what not. Even has some Mojave action in there. Well This is a definate must if headin to the Vegas region and need a little something more than the usual Vegas experience.

Very Helpful and Easy to Use Mar 17, 2008
This book continues to be a valuable resource for planning hikes for my scout troop. I used it to plan a hike at Wildcat Canyon, in the east bay.
It was easy to improvise from the pre-planned hike in the book because the maps were very good. I added a few miles to the hike presented in the book with no problem.
The starting points are well marked, and the textual description was very good. Trail references were superb. Driving directions to the trailhead were adequate but could have been a little clearer.
