Discover Nevada’s history on this epic road trip

Discover Nevada’s history on this epic road trip

Nevada’s highways are a tapestry of history,
natural beauty, and offbeat attractions. Where else can you see ancient
petroglyphs, wind- and water-carved landscapes, and UFO-themed attractions on
the same day?

In just over a week, you can visit practically
every side of America’s seventh-largest state. Your schedule will be packed
with amazing landscapes, rich history, quirky art, unique food, high-adrenaline
adventures, and natural wonders. Best of all, if you like wild and isolated
drives, you’ll be spellbound by Nevada's scenic and remote back roads.

From the largest alpine lake in North America
to spooky hotels and historic saloons, a Silver State road trip is an adventure
you’ll never forget.

Day 1

Start this epic road trip with a day spent in
the Mojave Desert outside Las Vegas, where cacti, juniper, and dune grass point
the way to natural hot springs and rare plants and animals. Calico Basin and
Red Rock Canyon offer stunning banded formations and sandstone bluffs, plus a
wealth of climbing, hiking, mountain biking, and other adventures.

A little over an hour away via Hwy 95 North
and Nevada 373, take some time to explore
Ash
Meadows National Wildlife Refuge
and its astonishing ecosystem of
spring-fed sapphire hot pools and 26 plants and animals so rare you won’t find
them anywhere else on Earth. Wander the boardwalks, explore the visitor's
center, and check out the historic cabin once owned by the legendary Old West
character Jack Longstreet, a miner and friend to the local Native American
tribes. Head back to Las Vegas at the end of the day.

Day 2

From Las Vegas, head north to Ely. Along the
way, you’ll find close encounters of the trippiest kind by taking a detour
along the stretch of State Route 375 known as the Extraterrestrial
Highway
. This area is home to the legendary Area 51, where
many believe the government secreted an alien spaceship.

Area 51 itself is closed to the public, but
you might be convinced the stories are true after a visit to the Alien
Research Center
. Earthlings are also welcome at the Little A’le’
Inn
, the UFO-themed pit stop serving burgers and cold beer as well as
comfortable lodging.

If those far-out attractions have you longing
for a more grounded experience, get in touch with nature at
Mt.
Irish Wilderness Area
, home to bighorn sheep, antelope, mule deer, and
dozens of species of bird. Pay attention as you hike past boulders, rock
outcroppings, and caves. Many are covered in ancient petroglyphs carved by
indigenous peoples
up
to 4,000 years ago
. There’s little light pollution in this area of Nevada, making for an incredible night-sky-viewing experience.

About an hour and a half away along Hwy 93 is the awe-inspiring Cathedral Gorge State Park. This maze of hoodoos, spires, and slot canyons
is full of unmatched
natural experiences
and is particularly beautiful at sunset.

Camp here, or continue your drive to Ely.
