Valley of Fire is Nevada’s oldest and largest state park. Ancient trees and early man are represented throughout the park by areas of petrified wood and 3,000-year-old Indian petroglyphs. Popular activities include camping, hiking, picnicking and photography. The park offers a full-scale visitor center with extensive interpretive displays. The park is open all year.
We went for a day trip and we are so glad we did, the drive up is amazing, so beautiful and the road is something i can only describe as "in a movie" You cannot appriciate mother nature until you visit the valley of fire. A truly amazing place!

Offering more than 224 vehicles on display, this museum contains one of the greatest car collections anywhere.
Amazing to see old autos in such great shape. This was the largest auto collection that I have seen. I saw a couple of "firsts" like a gold plated Delorean, Elvis owned Cadillac, cars used in movies.. Allow about 2 hours to walk thru and see it all, so many, and some are one of a kind, signed, or other special detail.

A number of areas for visitors along Lake Tahoe, with the most popular being Sand Harbor.
We planned the tour at the beginning of our trip so we would have an idea of where we might want to return. The tour was more fun and informative than we ever imagined. It was literally one of the best parts of our trip! Jim was an amazing guide.

Visitors can admire colorful rock formations on several hiking trails or on a 13-mile scenic drive.
Spent half a day in this park in January when we wanted to get out of Vegas and do some hiking and exploring. The park fee for a vehicle day pass is $15 and well worth the time spent here. It was just over 60 degrees so plenty comfortable for us northerners and we wore shorts with a long sleeve top, had on sunscreen and carried water on our hikes. There is a 13 mile one way scenic loop which you can drive through and see plenty just stopping at the overlooks. There are also many hiking trails ranging from easy to moderate to difficult with a variety of elevation rises and lengths that you can choose from to see petroglyphs, hidden falls, scenic views and nature’s beauty more close up. The guide which you can access online or pick up in paper form has a map and very good descriptions of all scenic views, overlooks and hiking trails. Be aware that if you plan to rely on your phone, service is not reliable throughout the park. I recommend arriving early to beat the crowds especially on weekends or when the weather is more inviting. There is a visitor and information building with bathrooms and some information on the park and animals and land but stop on your way in because with a one-way route you won’t have another opportunity. We spent about 4 hours in the park and hit a few of the highlights, stopped at the scenic overlooks and hiked 4 different trails. Check park hours as well because they vary with the seasons. We will be back to explore the area more but the time we spent gave us time to explore the park and hit the highlights.

The Tower is a unique, iconic fixture in the Vegas skyline with a magnificent 360 degree view of the shimmering Las Vegas Strip and Valley.
this is the first time I went up to the observation deck and it was amazing .. BEST PLACE for sunset for sure!!! and if you are a thrill seeker, you can bungy off the side or ride the slider that takes you off the side of the top of the Stratosphere -just plain crazy to watch but alot of people did it- you ride up the elevator at 21 miles and hour - a must see

Located in the beautiful and wild countryside of Pahrump Valley, this winery offers free tours, picnic facilities and special events throughout the year.
We love the Pahrump Valley Winery. It is a favorite place to show visitors and for enjoying a great meal. They offer free tasting of their award-winning wines, and tours of their expanded wine-making facility. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly. They have recently added some wines from California, a nice addition to the local vintages. The gift shop offers some fun and classy items, including apparel, jewelry, wine accessories, and wine-themed gifts. The restaurant - Symphony's - offers delicious menu items, in a country-club casual environment. Reservations recommended.

Aliens are given their own highway in Rachel, Nevada, one of the most "visited" UFO sites in the country.
A great day trip from Las Vegas, and lots to explore. Now that Rachel has an open gas station and general store made the trip much more enjoyable to explore around the Area 51 Base and nearby petrographs.

The Colorado River supplies water to seven U.S. States including Mexico, and offers recreational activities such as whitewater rafting, fishing and biking along its banks.
Great scenery!!! Cost is $12. They take you from the Riverside Casino to the dam back down the river past Harrahs back to the Riverside. Ride lasts almost an hour.

Located between the Hoover and Davis Dams, the lake's 237 miles of shoreline, plus the area's usually sunny weather, provide ample opportunity for boating, swimming, scuba diving, fishing or just relaxing on the beach.
Where else can you kayak under the full moon and be serenaded by wild burros and coyotes. Only in the Mohave Desert within the Lake Mead National Rec area of Lake Mohave. I kayak regularly from Davis Dam, Katherines Landing, Telephone Cove, Princess Cove, Cabinsite Cove, Carp Cove, Pot Cove, Cottonwood Cove, Willow Beach and the list goes on. Always a beautiful paddle. I often swim under the newly re-established beach at Katherines where they have Dive-in movies in the summer. Check out their schedule. Lake Mohave even has accommodations for boaters with disabilities. Yes, there are restroom on the lake that have ADA accessibility. Always be cautious of the wind. I check NOAA before going out and pay attention to the flag warnings at Katherines. Sometimes the flags are not quickly handled at other coves. When kayaking be cautious of the boaters and wave runners that do not abide by no wake zones and staying there distance. Please pack it in, pack it out. I seem to have a never ending job of trying to clean up others trash each time we are out.

River walkway that affords views of the river and Reno.
The riverwalk runs along the north side of the river with some meandering where foot and mixed bridges cross to the island home of Wingfield Park. It is especially attractive in autumn late in the afternoon when the fall foliage and sunsets flame the glassy stretches of the river. Brief plaques provide fun historical context. Some of the Riverwalk is simply a broad sidewalk bordered by the river on one side and restaurants and shops on the other, but other segments run through parks and, indeed one end is at Idlewild Park, where those enchanted by their ramble can continue near the river. It is a remarkable blend of urban amenities (shops & restaurants) and a wild-land feel with waterfowl and human frolicking in the water in the summer. . In how many urban rivers can you watch folks trout fishing for their breakfast? Parking is available nearby. Homeless people do hang out and sleep rough in some places here, but the context is peaceful and tolerant, with "Reno Ambassadors" being a positive calming and inclusive presence.
