Only In Nevada

Untamed, unspoiled, and gloriously rough around the edges. Welcome to your next adventure.

Nevada is a lot of things at the same time. Neon-buzzing boulevards and wide-open roads. Spectacular stage shows and star-studded skies. The most right-now art and million-year-old rock formations. Glitz. Glam. Grit. And endless surprises. The point is, whether you’re in the mood to swank it up at the planet’s best resorts, seek solitude at some of the nation’s most secluded and breathtaking parks, or simply let the road lead you to your life’s most exciting, unpredicted, and unwritten next chapters, your heart and mind are in the exact right state: the Silver State. In other words: Welcome to Nevada.

Topa! Basque-ing in Nevada Culture

Hailing from a mountainous, New Jersey-sized region straddling France and Spain, the Basque people came first for the gold and then later for the sheepherding. Those who stayed in Nevada held onto their culture and that spirit remains vibrant throughout Nevada today.

Seasons in Nevada

Nevada is a land of extremes. And the weather is no exception. The peak-studded, high-desert north is known for warm days and sharply cooling nights. Meanwhile, the arid, low-desert south temperatures can teeter into triple-digit territory on the reg. And, believe it or not, it can rain or snow literally any time. Anywhere. That’s why the real pros roll with a down jacket over their bikini and pack both flip-flops and boots. So let us walk you through how to navigate the weather around here. One season at a time.

Pyramid lake is not all ladders and shoulder to shoulder fishing
Camp along side the water at Pyramid Lake this summer. Some campsites even offer amenities such as full hookups and hot showers.

You say “mud bath,” we say “one of the best au naturel Nevada-style spa experiences in the whole dang state!” 🧖🏻‍♀️♨️🤩
•••
Blast up the #BurnerByway and indulge in some “me time” at a bevy of publicly accessible Black Rock Desert hot springs. These natural-bottomed pools are chock-full of nutrient-rich mud that would set you back a pretty penny at schmancy day spas, but out in the wild? Soak it up and slather it on!
•••
Afterward, if you find yourself homebound and longing for that amazing soak sesh, treat yourself to the next best thing and order up some @blackrockmud, a skin-pleasing mud mask (and worldwide luxury spa staple) family-harvested from a private hot spring on the outskirts of Gerlach. Get into this and nine other badass #OnlyInNevada adventures at the link in our bio! .

Still one of my favorite scenes.  I remember taking a few photos with a composition set-up looking east (toward Pyramid Lake) until I noticed a glow over my shoulder.  I turned to witness this tableau unfolding before me.  Definitely a surprise that pretty much floored me.

Looking forward to returning to the Black Rock Desert for some quality glamping in the middle of absolutely nowhere. Hoping to return with many photos of starry and stormy skies.⁣
