Learn the best place to hike in Northern Nevada

Hey fans of the great outdoors. Sundance Bookstore will be hosting a book signing and slide show by Reno local Mike White for his book, Afoot and Afield Reno-Tahoe, A Comprehensive Hiking Guide. It features more than 175 trips in a diverse range of terrain around the Lake Tahoe region and the communities of Reno, Sparks, Graeagle, Truckee, Echo Summit, Mt. Rose, and the Carson Valley.

These trips are tailored for every type of hiker, and many are suited for mountain bikers. Routes range from less than a mile to an 18-mile point-to-point challenge from Tahoe Meadows to Brockway Summit.

If you want to know more about local hikes from an authority whose feet have actually beaten the trails, arrive at Sundance Bookstore (1155 W. 4th St., Suite 106, Reno, Nevada) on Thursday, August 24, 2006 at 6:30 pm. The slide show will start at 7 p.m.

Mike White is the author of twelve previous outdoor guides to California and Nevada, as well as numerous articles in popular magazines. Mike is the author of Top Trails Lake Tahoe and Backpacking Nevada. He teaches hiking, backpacking, and snowshoeing classes at Truckee Meadows Community College.
