I divided Lake Mead into North and South areas

I did this because you take different roads to get to each area. Both areas offer fascinating hikes. You'll find hiking around Lake Mead easier than hiking in Red Rock Canyon or Mt. Charleston Area. Many of the hikes do not go to a peak, instead they follow washes to interesting areas.
