Once you’ve experienced all the sights of Virginia City, there’s no better place to kick back and raise a glass to Comstock history than the cupola, offering 100-mile views of the valley below, the roaring steam engine of the V&T chugging by, and (if you’re lucky) a band of wild horses grazing in the high desert hills.
