The state boasts more than 100 beautiful golf courses, and water lovers can relax on the shores of Lake Tahoe.

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.

Located in north-central Nevada, this national preserve spans more than two million acres and offers a variety of outdoor activities such as hiking, horseback riding, camping and backpacking.
Used to live in the area and returned to visit family. I can't stress enough that visitors need to take the trip through Elko and visit the Rubies and Lamoille Canyon. So many people pass this up and truly miss one of or possibly the most beautiful canyon in all of Nevada.

A favorite spot for landscape and wildlife photographers, this refuge provides recreational facilities such as boating, hiking, camping and viewing historical sites.
Came here in Dec. and was very nice area. Great for learning about endangered species in the area. Nice boardwalk around the visitor center. Visitor center was closed due to co-vid.

So close but so far from the bright lights of Las Vegas. We have ridden our bikes around the loop several times and really enjoyed the scenery of colors. Road is in great condition for road bikes. The "one way" direction makes for better safety. The visitor center is a good stop for info about the park
