In 1983 I moved from the mid-west to Las Vegas. I had never climbed a mountain, but was drawn to the mountains around Las Vegas. My first hikes were frustrating because the trails were not marked and there wasn't any accurate hiking information. I fell in love with the mountains and decided to write a hiking book so others could experience all the fantastic hiking in southern Nevada.
"I help hikers, who love hiking, but are having trouble finding the routes to peaks, waterfalls and other special places, because there are few trails and virtually no trail signs."
