Explore Western Death Valley National Park with the first
comprehensive guidebook to this amazing California region.
Lost between the rugged High Sierras and the glamor of Las Vegas,
bypassed by most visitors on their way somewhere else, Death Valley is a
sumptuous alignment of low desert valleys trapped between mountains that
reach over 11,000 feet. This little-known and largely unexplored
paradise is waiting to be discovered. Western Death Valley is a hiker's
mecca filled with salt flats and sand dunes, old mines and ghost towns,
awesome canyons, breathtaking summits, delightful springs, unexpected
streams, and more miles of unspoiled desert than one can explore in a
lifetime.
Hiking Western Death Valley National Park by Michel Digonnet is the
first comprehensive guidebook that's completely dedicated to this
fascinating region. Illustrated with hand-drawn topographic maps, ripe
with information about the area's rich human and mining history,
geology, and botany, this updated second edition takes hikers and
four-wheelers to more than 200 destinations, covering a wide range of
interests and skill levels.
