Forty trails, paths, and routes are located within the Bureau of Land Management's Red Rock Canyon. The book even goes so far as to include maps of trails and photographs of key landmarks along their routes. No book was available that detailed the vast number of hiking trails in the Las Vegas area. Whitney has racked up fourteen years of experience and more than 1,000 miles hiking the trails, paths, and routes around the city since moving here in 1983 from Missouri. He relied on this familiarity with the area to compile a list of sixty hikes for beginning, intermediate, and advanced hikers.
Parents can read about the number of hikes perfect for the whole family.

From June to November, Gilcrease Orchard, located off of Ann Road on North Tenaya Avenue, sells its apricots, peaches, figs, tomatoes, zucchini, squash, cantaloupe, melons, pears, corn, pumpkins, and apples to pickers from across the Valley, who are welcome to drive or walk through the orchard, and tote out as much as they can carry. Cantaloupes cost fifteen cents a pound.
