 Dame Nevada
There’s a basin, wrought of reason,
tortoise dry and clean of air
Where rivers hike to meet their fate,
get lost and disappear
Where Grand Adventure had a say
and different would prevail
And where only hardy life hangs on
to all that it entails

Where hidden hints of Eden

are revealed to those who seek
And where Bristlecone stand sentinel
from high atop her peaks
Where the Shoshone and the Paiute
and the Washo stories tell;
‘ If we but live within Her wishes,
we will prosper and live well ‘

Deemed and destined Dame Nevada,

cloaked in sage and sunset crowned
Making sense and friends and legends,
turning prudence upside down
She alludes to and may prove to
be enigma in disguise
Dealing wisdom and compassion,
still, refusing compromise

She’s the rugged scent of essence

and immense in scope and feel
Mountainous and rightly stubborn,
cold and sensuous and real
Open minded and closed fisted
and diverse in all she’s of
And, as tight with her resources
as she’s liberal with her love

And She settled hardy settlers,

and She dished prospectors ore
And She was booming as the U. S.
fought its most un-Civil War
And when there’s have and needed ‘
bureaucratic tape gets cleared
So, She’s flown the flag of statehood now,
one hundred fifty years

And as stewards of Her masterpiece,

the standards been set high,
Be protective and responsive to Her needs and feed Her pride
And as Nevadans, we should not forget what native stories tell;
‘If we but live within her wishes, we will prosper and live well’

 TRAVEL NEVADA

O h give me land, lots of land, under

starry skies above… Don’t Fence Me In!*
The “Don’t Fence Me In” spirit of Nevada has been part of the
state’s DNA for 150 years. Nevada embraces the true spirit and
the indisputable promise of the West — offering the freedom
and sheer space to do what you want, where you want, when
you want. This is where you can clear the fences and shatter
the boundaries of everyday life and discover the wonder and
sheer delight that comes with exploring the many facets of the
surprisingly diverse Silver State.

Nevada is where forward-thinking entrepreneurs created some

of the world’s most exciting and fascinating cities. Behind the
dazzling lights pulses a creative energy that energizes a thriving
community of artists, global trendsetters and intellectuals. From
the first moment you arrive, you’ll feel a surge in energy and
desire to enjoy life to the fullest.

And, Nevada is where Mother Nature paused for a moment to

shower the landscape with incredible riches. Here, tucked within
the mountains of snow and valleys of fire, are some of the most
breathtaking and exhilarating outdoor adventure experiences
found on the planet. And, it’s here, where relaxing under the
stars, you can breathe.

In this awe-inspiring juxtaposition of the world’s most exciting

cities with the immensely wide open, serene landscapes, Nevada
offers visitors (and residents) a truly unique World Within and
State Apart. The dualities that comprise the Nevada experience
create a destination unlike any other.

Share your Nevada adventures at TravelNevada.com or tell your

favorite Nevada stories on the Travel Nevada Facebook page.

I want to ride to the ridge where the west

commences, gaze at the moon ‘til I lose my
senses, I cannot look at hobbles and I can’t
stand fences… Don’t Fence Me In!*

Don’t Fence Me In, Cole Porter, Used by permission from the Cole Porter Estate.

 DISCOVER YOUR NEVADA

Photo Opportunities
Grab your phone, find your favorite filter, and
prepare for the ultimate photo ops in Nevada.

WELCOME TO FABULOUS LAS VEGAS – You’ve seen

it on film, T-shirts, belt buckles, and novelty shot glasses – the
iconic sign at 5100 Las Vegas Boulevard South is among the
most photographed on Earth. No trip to Las Vegas is complete
without striking a pose beneath the Sin City symbol.

RENO ARCH – The Biggest Little City in the World has

sported its iconic downtown arch since 1926, getting brighter
and bolder over the years, just like the town itself. Grab a
shot of the neon, glittering arch, and score bonus points if you
can frame it with downtown Reno’s towering casinos in the
background.

RHYOLITE – Ghost towns are as representative of Nevada

as sagebrush, and Rhyolite is one of the most photogenic with
its crumbling buildings, unusual Bottle House, and outdoor art
looming over the barren landscape. Late afternoon is the best
time of day to capture the nuances in color and shadow.

WENDOVER WILL – It’s hard to miss the bright lights of

West Wendover when traveling Interstate 80 in northeastern
Nevada, but in case you do, a friendly 63-foot-tall neon cowboy
is waiting to show you the way. Wendover Will watches over
the town and welcomes visitors to Nevada’s last hurrah before
crossing into Utah. (Make it a matched set by visiting Vegas Vic
and Vegas Vickie in downtown Las Vegas!)

 DISCOVER YOUR NEVADA TREASURE WINNERS

Discover Your Nevada Treasure

COWBOY COUNTRY:
THE STAR HOTEL AND BASQUE RESTAURANT
The Star in Elko is one of Nevada’s most famous Basque restaurants, and
serves up meals meant to keep you full for days! Get there early for a Picon
Punch at the bar, then get chummy with your neighbor at the family-style
dining tables. This stalwart of Basque cuisine is the undefeated Nevada
Treasure representing Cowboy Country.

RENO-TAHOE TERRITORY:
DANGBERG HOME RANCH HISTORIC PARK
Four generations of German ranchers lived in this home, which is now a
museum dedicated to telling the story of ranching life in the Carson Valley.
Browse kids’ toys, family photos, and clothing worn by the Dangberg family
over the last century. This two-time Nevada Treasure is a locals’ favorite gem
in the Reno-Tahoe Territory.

PONY EXPRESS TERRITORY:

NEVADA NORTHERN RAILWAY
A “Ghost Train,” the “Polar Express” and daily excursions through the
rugged mountains in eastern Nevada are just part of what makes the Nevada
Northern Railway a recurring winner in the Nevada Treasures contest. Visitors
can explore the working rail yard and ride historic diesel and steam engines
that served the nearby mines when the railway started in 1905.

NEVADA SILVER TRAILS: PAHRUMP VALLEY WINERY

One of only four wineries in Nevada, the Pahrump Valley winery an hour
from Las Vegas has received more than 375 national awards since 2005,
and produced Nevada’s first commercial red wine. It is undeniably a Nevada
Treasure with an impressive tasting room and upscale restaurant
overlooking vineyards.

LAS VEGAS TERRITORY:

NEVADA STATE MUSEUM, LAS VEGAS
A Columbian Mammoth greets visitors young and old to the Nevada State
Museum, conveniently located at the Springs Preserve in Las Vegas. Learn
about Nevada’s history through a collection of immersive, hands-on exhibits. A
Las Vegas exhibit takes visitors through Sin City’s vibrant history in full color
and neon lighting.

INDIAN TERRITORY: LOST CITY MUSEUM

A two-time winner of the Nevada Treasures contest, Lost City Museum tells
the story of Nevada’s indigenous tribes. Recreated adobe huts represent
the dwellings that were lost to Lake Mead when Hoover Dam was built in
the 1930s. This small yet profound museum is a colorful representation of
Nevada’s American Indian culture.

*Nevada Treasures were selected by popular vote through the 2013 Discover Your Nevada
social media contest. Winners were chosen for each of Nevada’s six tourism territories. TRAVELNEVADA.COM 9

Cowboy Culture
• You know it when you see it: a cowhand clad in
leather, denim, and the dust of the range.
• You smell it: sagebrush, hay, and oil to the keep the
leather from cracking.
• You taste it: sizzling steak topped with grilled onions
and paired with a heaping side of baked beans.
• You hear it: the clink of spurs, the lowing of cattle.

Most of all, you remember it: cowboy culture, the most

authentic, raw, unadulterated element of American life.

 COWBOY CULTURE

When we talk about cowboys in Nevada, it’s about the men

and women who ride horses and rope cows. They wear
boots and hats because they’re useful to the work, not
to make a statement – although they could tell you the
difference between round-toe and square-toe boots, and
the real definition of a “buckaroo.” Horses are modes of
transportation and members of the family. We take great
pride in our ropin’ and ridin’ skills, and aren’t afraid to
grab a guitar and pick a melody.

This is the lifestyle that created the art form known

as cowboy music and poetry, and it’s celebrated
every January in Elko during the National Cowboy
Poetry Gathering, and in May at the Genoa Cowboy
Festival. These poets can spin a yarn that will
make your sides ache from laughter and the music
transports you to a starry night around the fire.

Guest ranches are the perfect places to get a taste for the country
way of life, but don’t expect to be wined and dined; if you’re a guest
on a working ranch, you can expect to work. You may help wrangle
the cows or feed the horses, and you’ll earn that chuck wagon
dinner at the end of the day.

The cowboy way of life is celebrated every

day at the Western Folklife Center in
Elko. Here arts, culture and personal
stories of Nevada’s buckaroos and
ranchers come to life.

Rodeos are a big part of cowboy culture, and Nevada

does them right. The Reno Rodeo is known as the wildest,
richest rodeo in the West, and the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas
is where the best of the best prove
their stuff in the arena.

If you feel inclined to really step back in time, there’s no place
like Virginia City. The main street is lined with wooden sidewalks,
saloons, and gambling halls. You can take a teeth-rattling ride in
a stagecoach or climb aboard a vintage steam train. Capture the
moment in sepia with your loved ones dressed up as gamblers,
cowboys, saloon girls, or miners. On a warm summer day, you may
just witness a bank robbery and ensuing shoot-out, but don’t worry,
the sheriff always wins.
Go ahead and dust off your cowboy hat, and pull on your favorite
pair of Levi’s. Life is about comfort here, and we think you’ll fit
right in.
Where to experience it:
The Winnemucca Ranch Hand Rodeo is about as authentic as it
gets, with working cowboys and cowgirls putting their daily chores
on display in a test of skill. Venture to Winnemucca, right in the
heart of Cowboy Country, the last week of February as ranch hands
compete for bragging rights and some cold hard cash in roping,
riding, doctoring, and other livestock skills.

The Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive is where wannabe cowboys and
cowgirls can become the real thing, if only for a couple of days.
Every June in the week leading up to the Reno Rodeo, the rodeo
cattle are herded into Reno by pro and novice cowpokes. Your
reservation buys you a seat in the saddle, a spot around the nightly
campfire, trailside dinner, and an unforgettable experience in the
American West.
Celebrate Las Vegas’ cowboy history at Helldorado Days in mid-May.
This cowboy-themed festival has been rocking southern Nevada
for 80 years, and this year moves to a new location near the Smith
Center in downtown Las Vegas. The five-day festival includes a pro
rodeo, parade, carnival “whiskerino” contest, poker tournament,
art show and auction, trail ride, and of course lots of food and
entertainment. This year’s event has been named a signature event
for the Nevada Sesquicentennial.
Cowboy Christmas is a long-standing favorite during the National
Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas every December. This is where smart
cow pokes can find gear or buy western gifts from more than 400
vendors just in time for Christmas. Boots and spurs, pottery and
silver, furniture and art – it’s all for sale during the 10-day rodeo.

Off The Beaten Path

Nevada is different. When you cross the
state line, you feel a change in the air, a
subtle breeze of freedom flicking your
hair and enticing you deeper into this land
like none other. This state was built by
mavericks, fortune-seekers, and pioneers,
and their spirits linger, drifting through rural
towns, swirling like tumbleweeds through
ghost towns, and invigorating the artists
who come here to be inspired. For the most
part, you have to get off the beaten path to
discover what really makes this place tick. Manhattan

GHOST TOWNS
Ghost towns are strewn throughout Nevada. Some, like
Rhyolite, Belmont, and Berlin, are easily accessible from
the highways and are meticulously preserved as if time
stood still. But some, well, some make you work for the
reward. Names like Metropolis, Manhattan, and Como are
rarely tossed about by the casual traveler. But those who
seek a richer experience in Nevada will find that the roads
to these little-known ghost towns are littered with tall
tales and unforgettable experiences.

But you won’t need a photo filter to awe your

friends with the stunning colors and shapes
to be found.

Another unusual remnant of a long-gone era

is the Ward Charcoal Ovens State Park just
outside of Ely. The 30-feet-high beehive-
shaped ovens were used in the 1870s to
reduce wood to coal for the nearby mines,
and you still can catch a whiff of acrid smoke
when you enter the towering stone ovens.

Did we mention that Nevada was founded

by eccentrics? This is evident at unusual
spots such as Stokes Castle, a three-story Little Finland
stone structure just outside of Austin. Stokes
Castle was built by Anson Phelps Stokes, a
railroad and mining tycoon who took a year
to build his family’s summer home and only
spent about a month in it. The castle is listed
on the National Register of Historic Places.

We love when human error results in

unfathomable beauty. That’s the case of the
Fly Geyser near the Black Rock Desert in
northern Nevada. Don’t get too close – the
geyser is on private property but is viewable
from the road, and is worth the detour. The
geyser was formed when a geothermal well
was drilled and not properly capped, creating
a constant eruption of mineral-laden water Ward Charcoal Ovens State Park

that has left layer after layer of colorful,

bulbous sediment.

If the beauty of Fly Geyser hasn’t inspired

the artist within, take a short detour on
Guru Road on your way back to Reno. This

Gerlach is lined with inspirational quotes
painted on rocks, as well as windswept
pieces of art.

Las Vegas’ story is one of glitz and gaming,
excess and escapism — a colorful tale, but delve
into the narrative developing just off the Strip,
in the burgeoning 18b Arts District or the

Explore eclectic galleries, shop small boutiques,

maybe imbibe a craft cocktail while listening
to an experimental music showcase: it’s all
happening in the area west of the Strip anchored
by Charleston Boulevard. This is the18b Arts
District, so named because the original arts
district area consisted of 18 blocks. If you’re
lucky enough to be there on the first Friday on
the month, you’ll want to check out the First
Friday festival, where thousands flock for street
performances, live music, local artists’ exhibits
and shows, food trucks and more.

Inspiration is in the air north of Fremont Street

in downtown Las Vegas — this is the Downtown
3rd District, the area where Zappos CEO Tony
Hsieh relocated his company in a move to
revitalize the community, spurring a spate of new
business openings. Having an art attack? Head to
Emergency Arts on Sixth and Fremont streets, a
collective for writers, artists, musicians — and a

BASQUE FOOD
Traditional Basque restaurants dot the Nevada culinary landscape and
are concentrated more heavily in the northern end of the state. Elko,
Winnemucca, Fallon, Gardnerville, and Reno boast the more well-known
Basque eateries, including the Star Hotel, the Martin Hotel, the Overland,
JT Basque Bar & Dining Room, and Louis’ Basque Corner.

A Basque meal usually is served family style, so make friends with your
neighbors or they won’t pass the salad or beans your way. The fare may
vary, depending on whether the restaurant leans more Spanish-Basque
or French-Basque, but you can be sure there will be at least five courses
leading up to your main dish (did we mention that it’s best not to eat for a
day or two before your meal?).

Speaking of the main dish, this is where you get to see what Basque food
is really about! Lamb and oxtail are staples of any menu, and if you order
steak, remember that “Basque style” comes with a heaping of roasted
garlic on top! Don’t be afraid of trying something new, Basque meals start

FRESH FARE
Bite into a sweet cantaloupe grown in Fallon or tuck into a dish
seasoned with zesty onions pulled from the Mason Valley. A glass of
zinfandel or merlot from a Nevada winery should complement that
nicely. Yes, Nevada has agriculture — including a vital ranching culture
— although those in the industry must be creative to work with the
desert soil and dramatic temperature swings. Sample local, fresh fare
at such events as Tractors and Truffles, a farm-to-plate dinner event
held in the fall in Fallon; Taste of the Valley, another autumn event,
this one featuring produce grown in the Mason Valley; and Bet on the
Farm!, a farmer’s market held weekly at Springs Preserve, a cultural
center just west of the Las Vegas Strip.

Become immersed in the farm-to-fork experience through culinary

schools offered by some of the best chefs in the West. Pair an
exhilarating weekend adventure with a cooking school and create a
perfect “foodie” getaway.

Of course, Nevada’s guests are not the only ones who value flavorful,
local produce. Restaurants have jumped on the farm-to-fork trend,
many of them taking advantage of the bounty available at the region’s
farms and ranches. Asparagus, eggplant, summer squash, tomatoes
and turnips are just some of the Nevada-grown fruits and vegetables
that might find their way to your plate.

Don’t forget libations — Nevada is leading a revolution in winemaking,

developing desert-hardy grapes that use a fraction of the water that
traditional crops consume. That is reason enough to be interested in
Nevada’s four wineries, and the bonus is they produce delicious wines.

In the south, there’s Pahrump Valley Winery and Sanders Family

Winery, both in Pahrump. Pahrump Valley grows primarily red
varietals. Sanders Family is planted with zinfandel and petite syrah and
imports a gamut of red and white grapes to produce award-winning
wines.

In the north, you’ll find Tahoe Ridge Winery in Minden and Churchill
Vineyards in Fallon. Tahoe Ridge started as a research vineyard in
1990 and went on to become the first full-production winery in the
state. Churchill Vineyards lays claim to the only estate-produced white
wines in Nevada.

You haven’t really visited Nevada until you’ve indulged in an all-you-can-eat casino
buffet. This tradition dates back to 1940s Las Vegas, spreading throughout the state and
continuing today. Most buffets feature a range of international cuisines as well as yards-
long salad bars loaded with everything from jicama slices to bacon crumbles. Like all
things Nevada, choice is abundant. Our only advice is to save room for dessert!

You’re in for an adventure in Nevada, whether you’re a
mountain biker, off-road warrior, fishing fan, rock climber,
hiker or land sailor pilot.

Test your endurance on the mountain bike trails around

Austin on Highway 50, a spot that lures bikers from all
over the world, or on northern Nevada’s Flume Trail, a
challenging single track with breathtaking views of Lake
Tahoe. Rev up your off-road vehicles on the 260-mile,
mixed-use Silver State Off Highway Vehicle Trail in Lincoln
County or at the Sand Mountain Recreation Area — yes, Sand Mountain
you can ride giant sand dunes! — off Highway 50 just east
of Fallon.

Pack your tackle boxes when you come to Nevada. Who

would’ve guessed that this desert state has so many
places to fish? Lake Tahoe — along with Pyramid Lake,
Cave Lake, Rye Patch Reservoir and Lake Mead, among
others — are prime places for fishing. Bait your line for
Lahontan cutthroat trout at Pyramid Lake or striped bass
at Lake Mead. Anglers can test their best flies in the
Truckee River near Reno-Sparks or Lamoille Creek in the
Ruby Mountains near Elko.

Pull yourself up rock cliffs: Red Rock National

Conservation Area, just 17 miles west of the Las Vegas
Strip, is a great place to climb, whether you’re just
starting out or an expert. Red Rock offers 1,700 climbing
routes of all grades and lengths, and is home to the
annual Red Rock Rendezvous rock climbing event. Or keep
two feet on solid ground. Hikers will find plenty explore
in Nevada. Check out the trail system at Great Basin
National Park near Ely or explore the Tahoe Rim Trail
with its many connecting routes such as the Mt. Rose
summit trail.

Nevada’s also a place where you can do things that just

aren’t done in most other places. Land sailing across the
desert flats on three-wheeled vehicles powered by wind is
one of them. Nevada’s vast desert playas offer the perfect
terrain for this sport, and Smith Creek Playa near Austin,
just off Highway 50, will host the 2014 Landsailing World

THE STEEP AND THE DEEP

Now take a deep breath.

That cold, crisp air lets you know you’re in for a challenge.
The rush of adrenaline that follows is your second hint:
You’re about to embark on an adventure in Nevada’s winter
wonderland.

With annual snowfall of up to 400 inches in the Sierra

Nevada, as well as plenty of coverage throughout the state,
Nevada offers winter playgrounds for skiing, snowshoeing
and more.
Elko

Lake Tahoe, nestled in the Sierra Nevada along the

Nevada-California border, is home to several world-class
ski resorts that offer trails and terrain parks for all levels.
On bluebird days — and there’s an abundance of those —
the breathtaking views of Lake Tahoe will stop you in your
tracks. That’s if you stop: the groomed slopes, challenging
moguls, and thrilling terrain parks at Heavenly Mountain,
Mt. Rose-Ski Tahoe, and Diamond Peak Ski Resort will
keep you moving.

About an hour’s drive from Reno and easily accessible

from the Reno-Tahoe International Airport, the Lake
Tahoe region also draws visitors for cross-country skiing,
snowshoeing, sledding, and snowmobiling. For these
reasons and more, Lake Tahoe is a premier winter sports
destination. But don’t count out the rest of the state.

Las Vegas Ski & Snowboard Resort, about an hour’s drive

from Las Vegas and just north of Mount Charleston, is one
of the region’s often-overlooked gems. With 40 acres, the Mt. Rose - Ski Tahoe
resort is small by industry standards, but is pursuing an
ambitious 10-year expansion plan. Recent changes include
a new quad chairlift and 14 new trails. If skiing isn’t your
activity, head to a snow play area in the nearby Spring
Mountains National Recreation Area, part of the Humboldt-
Toiyabe National Forest, for sledding, a snowball fight or to
build a snowman.

Snow also falls in abundance on the eastern side of the

state, where you can enjoy helicopter-skiing, among other
winter activities, in a rural setting. The Ruby Mountains
near Elko are where thrill-seekers on helicopter ski
adventures get dropped into forested terrain, wide-open
bowls, and tight couloirs. Hit the slopes at SnoBowl Ski
Area near Elko or strap on snowshoes for a hike at Ward North Lake Tahoe
Mountain Recreation Area near Ely.

Edgewood Tahoe
FROM TEE TO SHINING TEE
Where can a person swing his or her clubs this state? Pretty
much everywhere: Nevada offers miles of fairways, some on
desert courses, others in mountainous terrain, but always with
unique Nevada twists.
Start your golf tour in Las Vegas, where you have your choice
of nearly 50 courses. Among those is the Las Vegas Paiute Golf
Resort, owned by the Las Vegas Paiute Tribe and home to the
Wolf Course, the state’s longest at 7,604 yards. There’s also the
Royal Links Golf Club, with holes inspired by 11 different British
Open rotation courses, and the Tom Fazio-designed Shadow
Creek, home of the Michael Jordan Celebrity Invitational.
Remember that Las Vegas is in the Mojave Desert, and here
you’ll find many desert courses — links where the fairways are

green and narrow with a more natural rough. Sometimes you’ll
be shooting over arroyos and across fairways, so no wild slices
or hooks!
About 80 miles northeast of Las Vegas, on the Nevada-Utah
border, is Mesquite, a town of around 15,500 people and nine
golf courses. You can stay in Mesquite for week and play a
different course every day. Not only does that make it a popular
golf destination, it’s also the host of many national golf events,
including the Mesquite Amateur and RE/MAX World Long Drive
Championship.
Travel north to the Carson City-Carson Valley area, just south
of Reno, to take on the Divine 9, a group of courses nestled
on the eastern side of the Sierra Nevada. Plush greens, rolling

fairways, and scenic mountain views are the hallmark of these

beauties, which together offer 70,000-plus yards of layouts by top
designers.

Don’t pack away the irons yet. You’ll want to check out the greens
in nearby Lake Tahoe and Reno. Breathtaking lake views can be
enjoyed from such courses as Edgewood Tahoe, host of the popular
American Century Celebrity Golf Championship, and the Golf
Courses at Incline Village, where the view from the Championship
Course seventh tee is definitely camera-worthy. Among the Reno
courses is the private Montrêux Golf & Country Club, host to the
Reno-Tahoe Open, a PGA Tour summer event.

 OUTDOOR RECREATION

STATE PARKS AND

NATURAL WONDERS
Nevada is full of playgrounds for outdoor recreation – there are
23 state parks, Great Basin National Park, Red Rock National
Conservation Area and Lake Mead National Recreation Area,
as well as the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, which
includes such jewels as the Ruby Mountains Wilderness.

Explore Western and prehistoric history as well as jaw-

dropping geological formations at Nevada’s state parks. Visit
Fort Churchill, Mormon Station or Old Las Vegas Mormon Fort
state parks to see remains of settlements that gave Nevada its
start. Ward Charcoal Ovens State Historic Park has immense
beehive-shaped ovens abandoned more than a century ago by
silver miners. And then there’s Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park,
which uniquely pairs the ghost town of Berlin with an adjacent
ichthyosaur fossil site.

Other parks reveal the natural evolution of Nevada’s

landscape. Cathedral Gorge is a stunning example of beauty
carved by millennia of erosion. Valley of Fire arises from the
desert outside of Las Vegas with brilliant colors matched only
by an artist’s palette.

Trek out to Great Basin National Park near Ely and challenge
yourself on the Wheeler Peak Summit Trail, an 8.6–miler
with a 2,900-foot elevation gain. A tour of the Lehman Caves,
marble caves ornately decorated with stalactites, stalagmites
and other formations, is a must.

Take in the stunning scenery at Red Rock National

Conservation Area, just west of the Las Vegas Strip, accessible
via a 13-mile scenic driving route. Pull over at one of the
several stops for hiking, mountain biking and rock climbing.
Pack a swimsuit for boating, fishing and other water fun at
Lake Mead National Recreation Area, which offers year-round
outdoor opportunities.

Shhh! See that mountain goat? In the glacier-carved Lamoille

Canyon and craggy Ruby Mountains you’ll find a vast variety
of wildlife — including the elusive Himalayan Snowcock, which
nests in the highest reaches of the Rubies— making this area
a perfect place to for birdwatchers, hunters, and anyone who
appreciates the beauty of wild horses galloping through
the sagebrush.

SOUTHERN NEVADA—FOUR DAYS, 564 MILES/908 KM
Day 1
Distance: 160 miles/258 km
Rev your engines in Las Vegas, and take off for the open
road via Interstate 15 North. Your first stop is Valley
of Fire State Park, only an hour from Sin City, yet it
feels like another world. Moviemakers think so too, and
that’s why this valley of red and orange sandstone was
featured in such movies as “Star Trek: Generations” and
“Transformers.” Plan to spend at least three hours here
before hitting the road again, this time backtracking
slightly on I-15 South and then turning north on U.S.
Highway 93.
This area is dotted with hot springs, and one of our
favorites is Ash Springs, located on the east side of U.S.
Highway 93 near the town of the same name. Ask a
local where to turn, because there are no road signs to
reveal this hidden gem.
Your stop for the night will be in the town of Alamo.
Luxury accommodations can be found at A Cowboy’s
Dream Bed and Breakfast. Just up the road is Windmill
Ridge, which boasts 15 western-themed cabins behind
a family-run restaurant, and is very affordable.

Spend the morning exploring to arrive at your next
stop, Rachel, around lunchtime to enjoy the famous
Alien Burger at the Little A’Le’Inn. Rachel is on the
Extraterrestrial Highway and is the center of many
reported otherworldly encounters. You may see a
spaceship hovering over the famed “Black Mailbox,”
which marks the access road to infamous Area 51. If
you arrive too early for lunch, the Little A’Le’Inn offers
a variety of dishes and refreshments, served with a
heaping side of extraterrestrial lore. To get here from
Alamo, you’ll head north on U.S. Highway 93 and west
on State Route 375, traveling about one hour.
Your next stop is Tonopah, about two hours northwest
on State Route 375 and U.S. Highway 6/95. Keep watch
overhead because you may just see some military air
maneuvers as you skirt Nellis Air Force Base to the
south.
Tonopah was once called the “Queen of the Silver
Camps,” and your first stop should be the Tonopah
Historic Mining Park. This outdoor mining museum
is on the site of the original silver mine and a great

Desert. For 10 days each summer, the desert is home
to the counterculture event called Burning Man. For
the other 355 days of the year, it is a serene, stark
mixture of desert, mountains, and hidden hot springs.

Day 2
Distance: 26 miles/42 km
Virginia City: Step back in time—150 years to be
exact—when you enter Virginia City, only 45 minutes
from downtown Reno. Wooden sidewalks, saloons,
Mark Twain artifacts and memorabilia, and a whole
lot of fun await in this town best known as the home
of the Cartwrights in the TV show “Bonanza.” A trolley
ride is the best way to learn the history of the town
and see the sights before spending the day shopping,
taking old-fashioned photos, and sidling up to a
genuine saloon bar. There are plenty of restaurants Nevada’s Capitol Building

CARSON CITY: The state capital is only a half-hour
drive south of Reno, making it an easy day trip from the
Biggest Little City. Some highlights along main street
include the capitol building, Nevada State Museum, and
Nevada State Railroad Museum, which often runs diesel
or steam trains for visitors.
Those who are interested in the city’s history should
walk the self-guided Kit Carson Trail through historic
downtown. Carson City and the surrounding area boast
nine golf courses, collectively called “The Divine Nine.”
Carson Valley is just a short drive farther south on
U.S. Highway 395 and is marked by vast ranches,
quaint antique shops and Victorian homes. Tahoe Ridge
Winery, one of Nevada’s four wineries, has a tasting
Dyer
LAKE TAHOE: Described by Mark Twain as “the fairest A
picture the whole earth affords,” Lake Tahoe is a jewel
in Nevada’s crown. The north shore is anchored by the 266
town of Incline Village, which boasts two golf courses, 774
Gold Point
a ski resort, and two lakefront hotels. The town of
Stateline holds court on the south shore and is known
for its large casino-resorts, Heavenly Mountain Ski
Resort, and Edgewood Tahoe Golf Course.
In the summer, the lake is abuzz with water and beach
fun, hiking on the Tahoe Rim Trail, and bicycling. The
winter months turn Tahoe into a skiers’ paradise. The
region has the highest concentration of skiable terrain
in North America, and resorts that are easily accessible
from Reno via car or shuttle service. You could easily
spend a week at Lake Tahoe, so if one day doesn’t do it
for you, use this guide to plan your next trip too!

Nevada is rich with Western culture and heritage.
Whether you have one day or a few, you’ll find
fascinating people, places, and adventures that
represent the 27 active American Indian communities
in the Silver State.
The Lost City Museum is just an hour from Las Vegas
and is a fascinating look at pueblo life, long lost to
history. Likewise, the Stewart Indian School is a half-
hour from Reno in Carson City and is an inspiring
review of forced indoctrination of Indian children and
their courageous struggle to gain equality with white
settlers. The school became a beacon of culture and
education over its 90-year tenure.
Powwows abound in Nevada, offering glimpses of
traditional Indian dance, music, food, and crafts
from every corner of the state. Visitors are always
welcome to powwows, where they can witness the
beauty and majesty of traditional “fancy dancers”
and listen to tribal leaders bless their tribes in their
native languages.
Pyramid Lake is an ethereal desert oasis with
mysterious rock formations that can only be
explained by tribal legend. The native Paiute tribe
welcomes visitors to its museum, adventure seekers
to its sandy shores, and anglers to its trout-rich
waters.
Nevada’s Indian Territory encompasses the entire
state, with examples of this vital piece of the state’s
culture scattered throughout the mountains, deserts,
valleys, and lakes. Wherever you go, you’ll be right
around the corner from the native experience.

SOUTHERN NEVADA
LAS VEGAS
Do we really have to say it? Really? Ok, what happens
here, stays here. Now you know where you are in
Nevada.
There’s no other place like Las Vegas, and we bet you
have the stash of private photos to prove it. This is
where you can dine on the finest fare from celebrity
chefs and then wash it all down with the most
inventive cocktails on earth at nightclubs that only
close when the sun comes up. This is Britney’s town
now, and we wouldn’t have it any other way.
But when you need a break from the 24-hour assault
on your senses, explore the little-known corners the
city and learn why this was such a vital watering
hole for settlers in the first place. Stroll through
Downtown, the original gambling Strip. Take a drive
out to Boulder City or Laughlin and so you can truly
say you’ve been to Southern Nevada.
Venture out of town and discover the fresh air and
unadulterated beauty of Red Rock Canyon. Fly through
Bootleg Canyon on ziplines or search for petroglyphs
in Valley of Fire. Appreciate just why this city in the
desert is so unlike any other place – it’s where you
can indulge your every whim and then retreat into
some of the most stunning scenery in the West.
It’s these extremes that make this a magical place, so
maybe you won’t want to forget what happens here.

Carson Valley is unrivaled when it comes to Nevada
adventure. Where else can you soar over broad expanses
of fertile green valleys, and hike, ride or ski magnificent
mountain peaks? The opportunities for a breathtaking
experience are seemingly endless, and when it’s time to
unwind, our towns and resorts are a welcome respite to
jam-packed schedules and crazy workweeks. It’s time for
yourself, it’s time for Carson Valley.

NORTHWEST NEVADA
reno-tahoe
Reno-Tahoe is where gritty and edgy meet natural
beauty with a splash of living history, creating the
most amazing mix of fun and inspiration.
Imagine exploring downtown Reno via a zombie pub
crawl, stopping to read the historical marker where
riveted Levi’s were invented. Kayak or tube through
the Truckee River Whitewater Park, then soak your
tired bones at one of the Biggest Little City’s world-
class spas. Perhaps take in some all-you-can-eat
sushi (yes, Virginia, it does exist!) and peruse classic
Warhols at the Nevada Museum of Art. Beer and
history, sushi and fine art. That’s how we roll.
Carson City, the state capital, is just a short jaunt
down the highway and is the hub of all things
historical. Museums with working steam engine
trains and a life-size gold mine exhibit sit near the
towering capitol and state government buildings.
Cruise over the mountain to Lake Tahoe, and prepare
to be awed. You’ll spam your friends’ Instagram
feeds with jaw-dropping pics of towering green pines
against blazing blue water that’s only distinguishable
from the equally blue sky by the rim of snowcapped
mountains that surround the lake.
Tahoe is a ski and snowboard mecca in the winter,
and in the summer it transforms into the happiest
place on earth (sorry, Disney) because this is when
you can mountain bike, hike, kayak, paddleboard, or
just lie in the sand with a Corona nearby and feel the
mountain air seep in and ignite your senses.
Need a good excuse to grab your friends for a
weekend getaway? How about camel races, a
whitewater festival, lakeside Shakespeare, wild
motorcycle rallies, or a down-and-dirty pub crawl?
That’s Reno-Tahoe just about any time of the year.
From special events to outdoor recreation, there’s a
world to be discovered in this northwestern corner of
Nevada.

NORTHERN NEVADA
COWBOY COUNTRY
Welcome to Cowboy Country, the vast open space
of northern Nevada where “cowboy” is more than
a noun, it’s a way of life. Boots and saddles are
serious business here, and cattle have the right-
of-way through town. This is the real American
West, and you’ve found it in Nevada.
Spend a few days in Elko in January and you’ll be
treated to the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering.
Return in July for the National Basque Festival
where chorizo and red wine take center stage in
this celebration of Basque culture. If you feel up
to the challenge, spend your vacation beyond the
reach of cell phone towers tending to cattle at a
local guest ranch.
West WEndover, on the state’s eastern border, is
home to the Historic Wendover Air Field, a vital
outpost during World War II. Winnemucca is the
gateway to Nevada’s rugged and lush mountains
to the north and vast desert to the west.
Take romance for a spin through Lovelock,
where you can visit the only remaining round
courthouse in American and “lock your love” in
the courthouse plaza.
When you venture away from the busy interstate
and bustling country towns, you’ll find some
of the most pristine wilderness in the western
United States. You’ll find abundance wildlife,
challenging hikes and climbs, and immense
expanses of beauty.

Lamoille, Dini Esplin

NORTH CENTRAL
NEVADA
PONY EXPRESS
“Young, skinny, wiry fellows, not over 18, must be
expert riders willing to risk death daily. Orphans
preferred.”

Yeah, you could call this some rough terrain.

Spanning Nevada east to west is the wild,

mountainous, rugged route of the famed Pony Express.
The terrain hasn’t changed much in over 150 years,
but stay on the highway and you’ll find a taste of the
Wild West tamed through time.

Your trek through this stretch of Nevada will take

you on U.S. Highway 50, known as “The Loneliest
Road in America.” Solitude and tranquility infuse the
sagebrush sea along this ribbon of highway, and each
town tells the story of the boom and bust of Nevada’s
mining heyday.

Ely, once a major resting point for Hollywood

celebrities on their way to vacation throughout the
West, now sparkles with vintage neon and a classic
American “Main Street.”

Find yourself by getting lost in Austin, where miles of

mountain-bike trails showcase the beauty of Nevada’s
high desert. Sample some of the best farm-to-fork fare
in Fallon, where you can also taste wine and distilled
spirits at an estate winery.

Sure, Nevada’s Pony Express region has come a long

way since the mail route blazed across the state in
1860, but it’s still an authentic slice of the Wild West.
This is the land for explorers, where rugged beauty
shines through sagebrush and snowcapped mountains
across the Silver State.

NEVADA HISTORICAL SOCIETY

The Consolidated Virginia Mine in Virginia City, site of the Big Bonanza of the 1870s.

In 1867, the Consolidated Virginia Mining Company began operations in Virginia City, but did not immediately achieve success. In 1871, James Flood—in partnership with
John Mackay, James Fair, and William O’Brien—bought stock in Consolidated Virginia, forming the Bonanza Firm. Eventually, the men bought the land owned by Consoli-
dated Virginia. They hit the “Big Bonanza” in 1873, extracting more than $100 million in silver ore over the next nine years.

CENTRAL NEVADA
SILVER TRAILS
Silver camps strung together by two-lane
highways mark the swath of the state known
as Nevada Silver Trails. These camps now exist
as ghost towns frozen in time. These are the
testaments to Nevada’s once-thriving mines
and boomtowns, now populated by wildlife,
sagebrush, and the curious traveler. This is an
ethereal portion of Nevada, where solitude reigns
supreme.
This is where you can travel the Extraterrestrial
Highway and dine on an Alien Burger with a
heaping side of UFO tales. Search for spirits
among the ghostly ruins of Rhyolite on the
northeast entrance to Death Valley National
Park.
Some of Nevada’s best kept secrets are hidden
in the hamlets and roadsides of Central Nevada:
the Million Dollar Courthouse in Pioche, marine
reptile fossils at Berlin-Ichthyosaur State
Park, clay caverns created by eons of erosion
at Cathedral Gorge State Park, ghosts of the
Mizpah Hotel in Tonopah, and the site of the
Nelson vs. Gans boxing match in Goldfield. These
all make up the fabric of Nevada’s inimitable
character.
There’s a lot of sagebrush and pine between the
towns that dot the Silver Trails landscape. And
there’s a lot to be discovered amid the ruins of
ghost towns off the trail.
