For Immediate Release:
New guide book Hiking Nevadaâs County High Points describes the
adventure, beauty and solitude found on
Nevadaâs highest county summits while also illuminating some of the
stateâs lesser known wild places.
In his new book, Hiking Nevadaâs County High Points, (published by
Spotted Dog Press, April 2010), Central Nevada resident
and author, Bob Sumner, has put his life-long love of the desert into
this historic adventure guidebook. Sumner shares his
favorite scenic hikes to the highest mountain summits in each of
Nevadaâs 16 counties â Churchill, Clark, Douglas, Elko, Esmeralda,
Eureka, Humboldt, Lander, Lincoln, Lyon, Mineral, Nye, Pershing, Storey,
Washoe, White Pine — and the state capital, Carson City.
Many readers will recognize the familiar summits of Charleston Peak near
Las Vegas and Mount Rose above Reno; however,
Hiking Nevadaâs County High Points goes far beyond the known. Into the
most remote depths of Nevadaâs rural counties,
Sumnerâs routes cross the Great Basin where mountain ranges seem to
float like earthen islands above the desert valleys, to the
beautiful world of Nevadaâs wilderness, remote and seldom visited, the
big sky country of sagebrush and pine.
Hiking Nevadaâs County High Points trails meander through bristlecone
pines, the oldest trees on the planet, to the summits of
Boundary Peak (Nevadaâs highest) and Wheeler Peak in Great Basin
National Park to the historic overlook of Mount Davidson
above Virginia City; along alpine lakes and cliffs to Ruby Dome; past
herds of pronghorn antelope to Mount Jefferson in Nye
County; around the old Pony Express trail in pursuit of Desatoya,
Churchill Countyâs high point.
Hiking Nevadaâs County High Points is a comprehensive driving and hiking
guide to the summits of Nevadaâs 16 counties and
Carson City. Author Sumner describes each backcountry adventure in
abundant detail with chapters that include:
⢠Driving and route instructions
⢠Camping and lodging locations
⢠A âbonusâ peak which can be combined with the county high point
⢠A side trip to a nearby point of interest
⢠Historic background for each high point
Outdoor enthusiasts from all over the country will appreciate the
journeys contained in this âmust haveâ guide to the stateâs
diverse and challenging high points. Alpinesque scenery, towering limber
pines, lush riparian canyons, wind-sculpted
rock walls, and hundred mile vistas are here for the exploring in Hiking
Nevadaâs County High Points.
