### New Nevada Updates complete a 9 guide series covering the 577-miles of American Discovery Trail desert!

---

We're quite excited to finally finish a major update to the American Discovery Trail's most difficult areas – **the deserts and desolation of [Nevada](https://www.hikingamerica.com/guides-nevada/) and [Utah](https://www.hikingamerica.com/guides-utah/)**. 

**The ADT Guide's** [**Nevada Segments 7 and 8**](https://www.hikingamerica.com/guides-nevada/), from the Pancake Range (above) to Preston, complete a series of 9 guides full of information on the difficult and desolate crossing of the aridest section of the trail. What some call the Achilles Heel of the ADT, **the 577 miles from [Virginia City, Nevada](https://www.hikingamerica.com/guides-nevada/) to [Beaver, Utah](https://www.hikingamerica.com/guides-utah/)** are nearly **impossible to conquer solo** – and certainly not without preplanning, water caching, and mental and physical support.

A few hearty soles have accomplished it, and their notes, tips, and water reports have been captured in **The ADT Guide's** new **368 waypoints** and **276 pages of maps** of the deserts and mountain ranges of Nevada and Utah! It's a great head start to planning!
