Nevada

Nevada At A Glance

Nevada is a land of contrasts—neon-lit nights, wide-open desert with some of the country’s darkest skies, and high-desert mountains. It swings effortlessly between glittery spectacle and rugged solitude, offering everything from iconic shows and casinos to ghost towns, alpine lakes, and some of the largest swaths of untouched wilderness in the West. It’s also home to some of the oldest living things on Earth — the bristlecone pines, hardy trees that have stood for thousands of years.
