Category: Nevada

There’s more to visiting Nevada than just a crazy night in Las Vegas. With some beautiful state parks and Great Basin National Park, Nevada is a really cool place to explore. Spending time in Carson City and at Lake Tahoe will change your perception of the state and you’ll see that it’s much more than neon lights and Vegas shows. Watch for wild horses, hike with bighorn sheep and appreciate the stretches of geologic time as you explore Nevada beyond Las Vegas.
