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.

Highlights
  • 600+ Ghost Towns—More Than “Live” Ones
  • Basque Dinner Houses and Sagebrush Saloons
  • Oddball Attractions and Far-Out Art

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.

“Bright Biggest Little” 
It’s going to be a BEAUTIFUL weekend in the Biggest Little City! With so many great spots to explore, it’s hard to choose a favorite. For me, it’s the overlook at Bartley Ranch Regional Park  and the “Nevada” pasture: rustic beauty in the heart of the city. Can’t beat it! 
So the question is: Where are you going to explore this weekend? 
Happy Friday and have a great weekend everybody!

Camp along side the water at Pyramid Lake this summer. Some campsites even offer amenities such as full hookups and hot showers.

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.
