Wilderness Forever:
"The love of wilderness is... an expression of loyalty to the earth, the only home we shall ever know, the only paradise we ever need..."
-- Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire
Looking for a challenge, a new place to explore, or a refuge from the everyday, fast-paced world? Take a hike or camping trip in one of the many Wilderness Areas with Lake Mead National Recreation Area.
Nine areas in Nevada totaling 185,000 acres, were designated as Wilderness by the US Congress on November 6, 2002, as places "where the earth and its community of life are untrammeled by man." They provide primitive recreational experiences and opportunities to enjoy solitude in the natural world near the Las Vegas metropolitan area. |
