    Don't know if @beetlevegas is ok with me suggesting this since it is his personal friend but it's worth a try. Also people suggested Rogue Offroad for my friend so i guess you can try them out unless beetle is ok with you contacting his friend.

    Thanks, I had found that searching for Basin & Range but hadn't looked at it beyond that. Looking at it now I see it has gobs of stuff all over NV!

    Thanks for all the links! For the books do you mean one of these:

    https://www.amazon.com/Nevada-Trails-Southern-Region-Massey/dp/1930193149/

    or something different on hiking trails?

    Thanks again for the pointers!

    not sure yet, I have a friend joining, waiting for him to confirm a time. He's not an early riser so it may be sometime after 9am.

    Any other trails in the area worth exploring?
