Park-hop your way through 24 Nevada State Parks, Great Basin National Park, and Beyond

With the largest, clearest, purest alpine lake in North America, it’s no surprise that millions of people from around the globe head for Lake Tahoe National Forest every year. Whether you’re looking to ski, mountain bike, hike, or sunbathe your way around Lake Tahoe, there are plenty of internationally acclaimed spots throughout that Sierra Nevada snow or sunshine that are sure to satisfy your inner recreationalist.

Meanwhile, the Mojave Desert brims with alluring Joshua tree-filled landscapes set against spectacularly vibrant mountains in and around Las Vegas, all the way to Death Valley National Park—the famously lowest, hottest, and driest place in North America. While the vast majority of Death Valley lies in California, discover Nevada’s tiny piece of the park outside Rhyolite Ghost Town, and the entrance to Titus Canyon. Best yet, be sure to see (and stay at!) Beatty and Pahrump, NV—both of which are gateway communities to Death Valley National Park along the Death Valley Rally Road Trip.

Desert and water lovers alike can bask in hundreds of miles of shoreline at Lake Mead National Recreation Area for amazing bass fishing, cliff jumping, and boating in one of America’s most uniquely dynamic places to get outside. 

Investigate fossils from ancient Columbian mammoths, dire wolves, and saber-toothed cat fossils at the Tule Springs National Monument and Ice Age State Park (coming soon); follow the legendary Pony Express Trail through forts and ghost towns in multiple northern Nevada state parks; and discover why “Half the Park is After Dark” beneath ancient bristlecone pines at Great Basin National Park. Whatever adventure you’re chasing, Nevada’s state and national parks will help you find it. Let us be your guide.

So we were headed to Idaho to escape the heat and through a series of snafus decided to blip up to Wild Horse State Recreation Area instead. Idaho will have to wait  for another time ‘cause we’re super smitten with this park. 🤩

“We ain’t gonna make it to Texas if it’s already this hot....” Fire wave, Valley Of Fire State Park. April 2019 | 37° Celsius 
We didn’t make it to Texas, so we said we’d return for a fourth roadtrip through the USA during the winter season and explore the Deep South and Baja Mexico. Can’t get enough of this beautiful country ❤️

Cathedral Gorge: ✅. 15/22 @NVStateParks in the books. Some kind of majestic! And lots of great hiking. Might be my new favorite. ❤️ @TravelNevada #SteveInParks #BattleBorn #NVLeg #HomeMeanaNevada https://t.co/TsdxFl9Lvo
Beaver Dam: ✅. 18/22 @NVStateParks in the books. Fantastic hiking and fall colors! Very close to the Utah border. Definitely coming back to this one. @TravelNevada #SteveInParks #BattleBorn #NVLeg #HomeMeansNevada https://t.co/xtfJ4X2C4Y
well folks, nevada fishing and sunsets on my page has its days numbered.

i recently accepted a job offer far away from the silver state that i'm excited to get to work on. it's been a long three and a half months of unemployment but the time spent fishing will always be appreciated.

grateful to be back working in social and excited for the opportunity. i won't be moving for at least a month though so there's still plenty of time to rip lips and take pics. i appreciate y'all.
