Book Review: Base Camp Las Vegas: 101 Hikes in the Southwest By Deborah Wall

Base Camp Las Vegas: 101 Hikes in the Southwest

By Deborah Wall

We are not hikers.  We have been to state and national parks. However, Base Camp Las Vegas: 101 Hikes in the Southwest by Deborah Wall has made us really want to go on some of the hikes she describes.

The photographs are amazing and the print quality is great.  These two things together are worth well more than the cover price of this book.

The author has given would-be hikers everything they need to know for taking on these trails.  She tells hikers what to bring, where to park, what facilities are in the park, and so much more.

She has hikes in here for all people. There is at least one that she tells can be hiked in a wheelchair since the trail is on a boardwalk.

There are many fascinating details included.  She tells of hikes that include old movie sets, abandoned towns (ghost towns?).  There is even one hike that includes a town that was underwater for seven decades.  How cool is that?

We give Base Camp Las Vegas all five stars.  It would rate that high if it were just a picture book.  The photographs are awesome.  

If you are a hiker, or even if you think you might want to try hiking, this book is for you.  

Base Camp Las Vegas has 101 different hikes all within the Las Vegas area.  This means that all are within an easy drive of Las Vegas.  

This would make a great gift for anyone on your list who likes the outdoors or likes to think they could be a hiker.

We were sent a complimentary copy of this book.  We are under no obligation to write any review, positive or negative.
