Here, you'll find beta on 239 peaks in and around the Las Vegas area, including Red Rock Canyon, Grand Canyon National Park, Mojave National Preserve, Great Basin National Park, Sedona, Flagstaff and more. Featuring hikes, scrambles and climbs, from local classics to the ultra-obscure, you'll find fully detailed, text-rich information on 95 peaks, as well as basic information on another 144 peaks. This guide, which is devoid of maps and teases the reader with a mere sprinkling of beautiful photos, is ideal for the true adventurer who appreciates the joy of exploration, as well as the motivated peakbagger who seeks every mountaintop in the area. Some of the peaks featured in this definitive guidebook to the region include Charleston Peak (highest peak in the Las Vegas area), Bridge Mountain, Humphreys Peak (the highest peak in Arizona), Wheeler Peak (at 13,000+ feet, the second highest peak in Nevada), Moapa Peak, Sunrise Mountain, McFarland Peak, Hayford Peak (one of the most prominent peaks in the U.S.), Castle Peak (one of the most technically challenging peaks in the Mojave Desert), Cheops Pyramid (a Grand Canyon National Park classic), Turtlehead Mountain...and about 200 more!
