Just curious if anyone has ever come across a good southern nevada (or all of nevada) off road book that lists trails and info and stuff????
i hear one is coming out around christmas..

 

I have looked repeatedly and have not found anything good. The best I have done is a decent map that shows some trails.

 

it drives me nuts.. every other area has one.. i've seen books that break up the state into like 4 different books...why do they always skip nevada??? maybe they go home with a hang over and broke and can't remember

 

Roger Mitchell has a few books. One is called Great Basin SUV Trails: Volume 1 Southern Nevada. It rates the trails and gives a good description and directions to the trail head. Their is a second edition and some others by him. Hope this is what you are looking for.

 

I was going to mention this book. I have this book and I think it's pretty good if you're looking for some very scenic and historical trails that range from easy to moderate. The hardest section on any trail in his book is in Echo Canyon which leads from the Amargosa Valley in Nevada westward towards Death Valley. It's actually listed as "Three Lees" in the Mitchell book and it continues on in the Charles Wells book for Southern California 4 Wheel Drive Trails as "Echo Canyon".

Here's a picture from that section of trail when we ran it back in January:
