COWBOY CULTURE
Cowboy Culture
You know it when you see it: a cowhand clad in leather, denim, and the dust of the range. You smell it: sagebrush, hay, and oil to keep the leather from cracking. You taste it: sizzling steak topped with grilled onions and paired with a heaping side of baked beans. You hear it: the clink of spurs, the lowing of cattle. Most of all, you remember it: cowboy culture, the most authentic, raw, unadulterated element of American life.
14 TRAVELNEVADA.COM When we talk about cowboys in Nevada, its about the men and women who ride horses and rope cows. They wear boots and hats because theyre useful to the work, not to make a statementalthough they could tell you the difference between round-toe and square-toe boots, and the real denition of a buckaroo. Horses are modes of transportation and members of the family. We take great pride in our ropin and ridin skills, and arent afraid to grab a guitar and pick a melody.
COWBOY CULTURE
This is the lifestyle that created the art form known as cowboy poetry, and its whats celebrated every January in Elko during the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. These poets can spin a yarn that will make your sides ache from laughter and your eyes shed tears you didnt know you had. Guest ranches are the perfect places to get a taste for the country way of life, but dont expect to be wined and dined; if youre a guest on a working ranch, you can expect to work. You may help wrangle the cows or feed the horses, and youll earn that chuck wagon dinner at the end of the day.
The Reno Rodeo Cattle Drive is another opportunity for those with an interest in living the cowboy life. Every June in the week leading up to the event, the rodeo cattle are herded into Reno by pro and novice cowpokes. Your reservation buys you a seat in a saddle, a spot around the nightly campre, trailside dinner, and an unforgettable experience in the American West. Rodeos are a big part of cowboy culture, and Nevada does them right. The Reno Rodeo is known as the wildest, richest rodeo in the West, and the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas is where the best of the best prove their stuff in the arena.

COWBOY CULTURE
Ive spent most of my life working on ranches in northeastern Nevada and am grateful to have done so. I love this country and how it changes with four distinct seasons and the rugged beauty that comes with each. I very much appreciate the people here and the Western culture we share, which is tied to the work and the land. The Cowboy code that some folks are trying to get back to is very much alive and well here.
The Winnemucca Ranch Hand Rodeo is about as authentic as it gets, with working cowboys and cowgirls putting their daily chores on display in a test of skill. A visiting cowboy or cowgirl will nd an endless variety of gear and accessories to t right in on the range. Silver and turquoise mined right here in Nevadaare staples in every boutique and gift shop. If you feel inclined to really step back in time, theres no place like Virginia City. The main street is lined with wooden sidewalks, saloons, and gambling halls. You can take a teeth-rattling ride in a stagecoach or climb aboard a vintage steam train. Capture the moment in sepia with your loved ones dressed up as gamblers, cowboys, saloon girls, or miners. On a warm summer day, you may just witness a bank robbery and ensuing shoot-out, but dont worry, the sheriff always wins.
Nevadans are proud of their western heritage, and of the great outdoors that lends itself to this ranching, roping way of life. Were inclined to believe that purple mountain majesties was inspired by our snowy peaks. Its not uncommon to see a tumbleweed blow down main street in many Nevada towns, and theres no smell like a sea of sagebrush after a summer rain. The open range means that you might have to wait for cows to cross the highway as they graze their way around the Silver State. Those cows might just be the only living creatures you see until you roll into the nearest town, thirsty for a cold beer and hot meal. Go ahead and dust off your cowboy hat, and pull on your favorite pair of Levis. Life is about comfort here, and we think youll t right in.

Ghost Towns
Tumbleweeds roll down dusty roads and cautious lizards scale wooden and stone ruins. You can almost hear the creaking of a long-empty rocking chair keeping time with the passage of years. It doesnt take much imagination to hear a harmonica melody in the breeze, greeting you at the wooden porches of miners cabins laden with iron and leather tools.
Candelaria
Every boom ends with a bust, and these are the scenes of Nevadas once-great mining towns, now preserved in the arid desert, in a state of arrested decay.

GHOST TOWNS
RHYOLITE
One of the most photographed ghost towns in the West, Rhyolite stands guard near Death Valleys eastern entrance, ushering visitors through the passage of time, space, and terrain. The mission-style railroad depot gives the town an almost modern look when compared to the stone ruins of a bank, store, and schoolhouse. The famed Bottle House, constructed of nearly 50,000 bottles, has been restored and hints at an eccentric past of the Wild West. That ribbon of oddity extends to the town limits, which is lined with largerthan-life sculptures, art created in and inspired by the extreme desert climate. Rhyolites brief life1905 to roughly 1920was extinguished as quickly as the wind blows across the sandstone hills. But like many great heroes, its fame came after death, and now the ghost town is visited by travelers from all over the world, seeking inspiration in the ruins.

GHOST TOWNS
BERLIN
Berlin is a ghost town tied by the terrain to its closest neighbor, an ichthyosaur fossil site known as BerlinIchthyosaur State Park. The town, adjacent mine, and dinosaur remains are a motley representation of Nevadas varied history. Located near the center of Nevada, the fossils tell a tale of life under the sea, of reptilian beasts that swam over what was then the oceans oor and is now mountain peaks. Fast-forward hundreds of millennia, and the wooden cabins and towering mill tell a tale of gold strikes, explorers, and newfound riches in the American West. Metal tools scattered throughout the landscape reveal the work that it took to build this mining town in 1896, and then abandon it in 1911 when the gold dried up. Travelers now can visit for the day or camp among the sagebrush and juniper trees. The green sage and brilliant blue sky present a startling contrast to the varnish of wooden structures, creating a photographers dream composition of light and dark.
BELMONT
A silver strike in 1865 led to the founding of Belmont and its establishment as the Nye County seat. As quickly as the honor was bestowed, it was taken away and moved to the more lucrative town of Tonopah. But Belmont got to keep its towering courthouse, a site well worth the two-hour detour south from U.S. Highway 50. Historical grafti marks the decades that have passed and gives a glimpse into the visitorsboth welcome and unwelcomethat have entered its domain. An eerie autograph is etched into a doorframe, believed to have been left by Charles Manson in 1969 while he and his family hid in the deteriorating courthouse. Now preserved as a State Historic Park, the courthouse stands sentinel over the nearly deserted town of Belmont, its ruins crumbling down the hillsides and hidden in the high desert of Nevada. 20 TRAVELNEVADA.COM
GHOST TOWNS
ST. THOMAS
Few ghost towns can claim a rebirth, but as the water has receded at Lake Mead, the town of St. Thomas has once again seen the light of day. The town seemed short-lived from the start, founded as a Mormon outpost to transport goods to Utah during the Civil War. The arrival of railroads made the town obsolete. When state lines were drawn, the residents of St. Thomas discovered that their hamlet was actually in Nevada, not Utah, and they owed their home state back taxes. Residents unable to pay the taxes opted to leave, marking the rst abandonment. Settlers returned to St. Thomas in the last decade of the 1800s and lived in relative peace until a bypass bridge diverted travelers and the copper mined nearby plummeted in value. The nal blow came with the construction of Hoover Dam, when the backed-up waters of the Colorado River created Lake Mead. St. Thomas was abandoned as the lake formed and owed into its streets and over its buildings and homes. Drought has forced the shoreline back, and the ruins of St. Thomas are now accessible via a short hike. Perhaps the ghosts werent ready to let go of this town that struggled from birth. Nevada is dotted with ghost towns, each settlement telling the story of the miners, railroad workers, explorers, and settlers who answered the call to go west, young man. You may see the signs of their struggles and triumphs as you, too, go west.
I enjoy exploring Nevadas ghost towns and mining campsthere are over 600many of which little remains but a few concrete slabs and crumbling rock walls.Afew are still inhabited and classied as living ghost towns. As the ore veins played out, and because of the scarcity of wood, many of the mining camps and town sites were dismantled and moved to the next discovery, leaving behind in some cases no, or very little, visible remaining site markings.

Traditional Basque restaurants dot the Nevada culinary landscape and are concentrated more heavily in the northern end of the state. Elko, Winnemucca, Fallon, Gardnerville, and Reno boast the more well-known Basque eateries, including the Star Hotel, Martin Hotel, Overland, JT Basque Bar & Dining Room, and Louis Basque Corner. A Basque meal usually is served family style, so make friends with your neighbors or they wont pass the salad or beans your way. The fare may vary, depending on whether the restaurant leans more Spanish-Basque or French-Basque, but you can be sure there will be at least ve courses leading up to your main dish. Speaking of the main dish, this is where you get to see what Basque food is really about. Lamb and oxtail are staples on any menu, and if you order steak, remember that Basque style comes with a heaping of roasted garlic on top! Dont be afraid to try something new, though its probably best not to ask what anything is. Sweetbreads taste better if you dont ask.

DESERT GRAPES
Nevada is leading a revolution in winemaking, developing deserthardy grapes that use a fraction of the water that traditional crops consume. That is reason enough to be interested in Nevadas four wineries, and the bonus is they produce delicious wines. Pahrump Valley Winery and Sanders Family Winery represent the oldest and newest wineries in the state. Pahrump Valley was established in 1990 and grows primarily red varietals, including zinfandel, syrah, merlot, and barbera. Sanders Family is planted with zinfandel and petite syrah and imports a gamut of red and white grapes to produce award-winning wines only an hour from Las Vegas. Tahoe Ridge in the northern part of the state (45 minutes from Reno) started as a research vineyard in 1990 and spent a decade perfecting the art of desert wine before going public and producing the rst commercial wine in Nevada and becoming the rst full-production winery in the state. Also anchored in northern Nevada is Churchill Vineyards, which lays claim to the only estate produced white wines in Nevada. It bottles small-production whites, reds, and distilled spirits.

Lake Tahoe is also a prime place for shing. Bait your line for trout or salmon, or set some traps for craysh, which are abundant along the shoreline and in the depths of the lake. Anglers can test their best ies in the Truckee River or Pyramid Lake, both of which are known to be among the best y shing locations in the west. Skiers and snowboarders already know that the 18 ski resorts in the Lake Tahoe region provide some of the highest quality, most challenging downhill and cross-country terrain in North America.

Rev your engines in Las Vegas, and take off for the open road via Interstate 15 North. Your rst stop is Valley of Fire State Park, only an hour from Sin City, yet it feels like another world. Moviemakers think so too, and thats why this valley of red and orange sandstone was featured in such movies as Star Trek: Generations and Transformers. Plan to spend at least three hours here before hitting the road again, this time backtracking slightly on I-15 South and then turning north on U.S. Highway 93. This area is dotted with hot springs, and one of our favorites is Ash Springs, located on the east side of the U.S. Highway 93 near the town of the same name. Ask a local where to turn, because there are no road signs to reveal this hidden gem. Your stop for the night will be in the town of Alamo. Luxury accommodations can be found at A Cowboys Dream Bed and Breakfast. Just up the road is Windmill Ridge, which boasts 15 western-themed cabins behind a family-run restaurant, and is very affordable.

Day 4
On your way out of town, take the short detour to Rhyolite, one of the most photographed ghost towns in the West and well worth the 10-minute drive from Beatty. Continue south on Highways 95 and 160 for about an hour to Pahrump. This bustling bedroom community to Las Vegas is home to two of Nevadas four wineries. We recommend staying long enough for lunch and wine tasting before continuing on to Las Vegas. Youve come a long way, and now its time to end your trek in Las Vegas. But the fun doesnt have to stop: you are in the Entertainment Capital of the World, after all!

Distance: 94 miles/151 km and any extra exploring you decide to do
Head south on Highway 95 toward Las Vegas, but dont worry, your adventure is far from over. Take your time driving through Goldeld, about 30 minutes south of Tonopah, and stop at the Goldeld High School, where the famed Nelson-Gans boxing match of 1906 took place. This changed the face of boxing in the West and put the then-booming town of Goldeld on the map. Your next stop is only an hour away in Beatty, your base camp for the next 24 hours. Beatty is the eastern gateway to Death Valley; from here you can access such iconic sites as Zabriskie Point, Badwater, Devils Golf Course, and Artists Drive. Return to Beatty at your

Nevadas Indian Territory is rich and robust in Western heritage. Whether you have one day or a few, youll nd fascinating people, places, and adventures that represent 27 active American Indian communities in Nevada. In Overton, discover the Lost City Museum, just one hour from Las Vegas. Worth the drive via Valley of Fire State Park, the road crosses rich red rock vistas before reaching the site of early Puebloans. A treat for archeologists and artists alike view artifacts and scout the authentic Indian jewelry and crafts in the museum store, too. Powwows abound in the Nevada desert, offering glimpses of traditional Indian dance, music, food, and crafts from every corner of the state. The annual Las Vegas Snow Mountain Powwow in May gives people a rare chance to experience artists in full regalia and families reconnecting. In Carson City, check out the Stewart Fathers Day Powwow and join nearby American Indian communities as they celebrate at the site of the historic former Indian school. Taste an Indian taco before you head down the road to the Nevada State Museum, home of a world-renowned collection of 19th century handcrafted woven baskets made famous by artist Dat So La Lee. Take in Under One Sky, a full museum wing of Indian contributions to Nevada. Fashion takes form in Wadsworth at the annual Womens Buckskin Dance. Try your hand at the Fishing Derby in Sutcliffe and sample the successes of the Great Basin Native American Market in Elko. Sneak a peek in the Nevada Historical Society in Reno for a copy of Tales of Wovoka, the story of a Paiute prophet and the Ghost Dance. All of Nevada is Indian Territory. Wherever you go, youll be right around the corner from the native experience.

LAS VEGAS TERRITORY

Welcome to the Entertainment Capital of the World! Las Vegas is well known as a place where you can shop, dine, lounge by the pool, golf, dance, and be entertainedat any hour of the day or night. But did you know there are ancient Indian petroglyphs just one hours drive outside the city? Or that some of the nations best rock climbing is a short 30-minute drive from the Strip? Or that you can ski and golf in the same day? Yes, from Valley of Fire State Park to Red Rock Canyon to Mount Charleston, there are unexpected and amazing adventures just a short jaunt from the Las Vegas Strip. Venturing outside the city limits, youll nd one of the tallest, fastest roller coasters on Earth in the town of Primm, which also boasts some of the best outlet shopping in Southern Nevada. Just two hours south of Las Vegas is the riverfront town of Laughlin, where outdoor adventure awaits just beyond the casino lights. Mesquite, 90 minutes east, is a golfers paradise, a lush oasis of greens settled into the quaint town on Nevadas eastern border. Dont forget to visit the iconic Hoover Dam or take an unforgettable helicopter ride to the Grand Canyon. Get a taste of vintage Vegas downtown, where the Mob Museum and Neon Museum remind us what Sin City looked like only a few decades ago. Feeling overwhelmed, like theres too much to see and do? Thats OK. Theres always a pool party going on where you can let the Southern Nevada sun melt away your cares or rev your engines for the nights adventures awaiting you!

COWBOY COUNTRY | NORTHERN
COWBOY COUNTRY
Welcome to Cowboy Country, the vast, open space of northern Nevada where cowboy is more than a noun, its a way of life. Boots and saddles are serious business here, and cattle have the right-of-way through town. This is the real American West, and youve found it in Nevada. Spend a few days in Elko in January and youll be treated to the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering. Return in July for the National Basque Festival, where chorizo and red wine take center stage in this celebration of Basque culture. If you feel up to the challenge, spend your vacation beyond the reach of cell phone towers tending to cattle at a local guest ranch. West Wendover, on the states eastern border, is home to the Historic Wendover Air Field, a vital outpost during World War II. Winnemucca is the gateway to Nevadas rugged and lush mountains to the north and vast desert to the west. Take romance for a spin through Lovelock, where you can visit the only remaining round courthouse in America and lock your love in the courthouse plaza. When you venture away from the busy interstate and bustling country towns, youll nd some of the most pristine wilderness in the western United States. Youll nd abundant wildlife, challenging hikes and climbs, and immense expanses of the American West.

PONY EXPRESS TERRITORY | NORTH CENTRAL
PONY EXPRESS TERRITORY

The Pony Express only lasted for 18 months, but left an indelible mark on the American West. Today, visitors can travel alongside the historic mail route through Nevadas Pony Express Territory. Visit the ruins of the mail stops and the ghost towns that dot the landscape as you make your way east and west across the Silver State. Your trek will take you on U.S. Highway 50, known as The Loneliest Road in America. Solitude and tranquility infuse the sagebrush sea along this ribbon of highway, and each town tells the story of the boom and bust of Nevadas mining heyday. Ely, once a major resting point for Hollywood celebrities on their way to vacation in Idaho, now sparkles with vintage neon and a classic American Main Street. Eureka is a tribute to the cosmopolitan life that existed even in the far reaches of the West in the 1800s, with its stately opera house and courthouse. This is a vibrant artists community too. Many a traveler seeks to get lost in Austin, where miles of mountain-bike trails showcase the beauty of Nevadas high desert. Historic churches stand watch over downtown, where shops sell locally mined turquoise. Fallon is farmland, a lush agricultural area where you can visit one of Nevadas four wineries and sample food grown just outside the city limits. Pony Express Territory is the explorers territory, where rugged beauty shines through sagebrush and in the snowcapped mountains across the Silver State.

NEVADA SILVER TRAILS | CENTRAL
NEVADA SILVER TRAILS

Nevada Silver Trails covers the large swath of the Silver State between Las Vegas and Highway 50. The moniker is a nod to the states lucrative silver mines that boomed in the early 1900s and faded away as quickly as they came. This is an ethereal portion of Nevada, where solitude reigns supreme. This is where you can travel the Extraterrestrial Highway and dine on an Alien Burger with a heaping side of UFO tales. Test your grit in Death Valley National Park and search for spirits in the iconic ghost town of Rhyolite on the northeast entrance to the park. Then nd refreshment in the gateway city of Pahrump, which boasts two of the states four wineries. Tonopah, Queen of the Silver Camps, is the perfect resting spot between Reno and Las Vegas, where you can stay in the Mizpah Hotel and tour the Tonopah Historic Mining Park. Look for ghosts and bones at the Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park, a fascinating combo of a ghost town, mine, and dinosaur fossil site. Stand on the very spot of the Battle of the Century, the Nelson vs. Gans boxing match in Goldeld in 1906. Theres a lot of sagebrush and pine between the towns that dot the Silver Trails landscape. And theres a lot to be discovered amid the ruins of ghost towns off the trail.
