About this title

Synopsis

Each of the five geologic tours in this guidebook takes the traveler to a different area of special geologic interest within a short driving distance of Las Vegas. A new table in the back lists GPS coordinates corresponding with notations throughout the text. In addition to geology, the trip guides tell a little of the people who shaped the human history of this part of southern Nevada, such as prehistoric Native American salt miners, Spanish explorers, mountain men, Mormon settlers, and gold miners. Touching on natural history, there are comments on some of the plants and animals that make this area more than just stunning desert landscape. Depending on your trip choice, you can visit one of three National Recreation Areas, two Nevada State Parks, and even a National Wildlife Refuge catering to Desert Bighorn Sheep. These trips provide options for side trips, hiking, camping, wildlife viewing, and even fishing and boating if you elect to explore Lake Mead. 144 pages (11x8.5"), plastic coil binding, profusely illustrated with 66 color photos and numerous b/w photos, sketches, and maps.
