Nevada

Located in the western region of the United States. This “Silver State'' as it is called, Nevada  is one of the largest gold producing states in the US. This sparsely settled state ranks 7th among the USA's 50 states in terms of total size. 

Nevada is not just a giant cactus and sand bowl as most tourists perceive it to be. In fact, the natural wonders that include soaring forests, beautiful parks, and stunning lakes. There are incredible rock formations floating on Lake Pyramid. The Jarbidge Wilderness for instance, is replete with blooming flowers and the beautiful National Park of Great Basin that is home to the ancient bristlecone pines.

It is one of the charming places to visit in USA because of the recreation areas and national parks it houses. All these areas present outstanding terrain for fishing, horseback riding, climbing, biking and hiking. This mountainous state offers spectacular sights like the Great Basin National Park and something as contrasting as the sin city of Las Vegas, where you make the most of roulette tables and slots.

Day trips and outdoor activities in Nevada mean moon-walking at Lunar Crater, caving underneath the Great Basin in Lehman Caves, tubing down the Truckee River, or snow skiing on Mount Charleston. Moreover, because Nevada is all about neon lights and casinos, you can always head to Las Vegas to try your fortune with the slot machines. The weather in Nevada is mostly clear all the year round. Summers here are sweltering especially in the  state’s southern part while the winters are dry and cold.
