Description: Lost between the rugged High Sierras and sunbaked Death Valley, trapped between mountains reaching over 11,000 feet, the sumptuous alignment of low desert valleys called Panamint, Saline, and Eureka is a largely unexplored paradise waiting to be discovered. This is Death Valley a hundred years ago, a hiker’s mecca filled with salt flats and sand dunes, old mines and ghost towns, awesome canyons, breathtaking summits, delightful springs and unexpected streams, and more miles of unspoiled desert than one can explore in a lifetime. Hiking Western Death Valley National Park is the first comprehensive guidebook dedicated to this fascinating region. Illustrated with detailed hand-drawn topographic maps, filled with information about the area’s rich human and mining history, geology, and botany, it will take hikers and four-wheelers to more than 200 destinations covering a wide range of interests and difficulties.
