Things to do in Nevada

• Grand Canyon Tours
  The Grand Canyon, what can't be said about this awesome inspiring gorge that lies in Arizona, but is more easily accessed by coming in from Las Vegas.  It was one of the first national parks in our nation, and Teddy Roosevelt loved to come here to hunt or marvel at the beautiful panoramic views that no matter how many times you looked at them, there was always something new to see.  It is believed, by the scientific community that the Colorado River carved the gorge over a 6 million year span.  Stretching along 277 miles, this colossal magnificent picture of natural evolution is between 4 to 18 miles wide at different points and is over a mile deep in other places.  For almost 2 billion years, the plateau shifted and jerked, leaving a wonderful exposure of layer after layer of rock, that tells its age and the turmoil it went through to attain its majestic beauty.  Beginning in the west, and also from the east, two gigantic channels forged their way through the layers of rock, until they met somewhere around a place known as Kaibab Arch.  The canyon is not the biggest, nor the widest, or even the deepest, but one characteristic it does have it that it is the most beautiful, scenic canyon in the world.
   

• Red Rock Canyon National Conservation area
  Set on almost 200,000 acres, the Red Rock Canyon is about 15 miles west of Las Vegas and visited by over a million people each year.  The red sandstone walls and peaks are called the Keystone Thrust and up to 3000 feet high.  They are a favorite climbing and hiking area for both locals and visitors, with grand views and beautiful vistas.  The only way in is a 13 mile loop that allows access to the area and the side rides that go through it.  The visitor's center is at the beginning and will give you any information you will need.  This road is another popular area, but for biking, as it goes up a ways then down into flat areas.  It is more accessible by 4 wheel drive vehicles once you are off the loop road.  On the southern end of the conservation area is Spring Mountain State Park, a replicated ghost town called Bonnie Springs and a village called Blue Diamond.  The first people that came to the area were the Paleo Indians over 11,000 years ago because of the animals for food and the plentiful supply of water.  These resources are not easily found anywhere else in the desert area at that time.  The San Dieguito Indians lived there from 7000 B.C. until about 5500, then the Pinto/Gypsum from 3500 B.C. until approximately 1 A.D.  The Anasazi followed until 1150 A.D., the Patayan were next until the early 1800s, and the Southern Pauite came about the same time and were there until the settlers arrived in the later 1800s.  Many petroglyphs and pottery fragments have been found in the area, as well as fire pits.
   

• Liberace Museum
  The Liberace Museum in Las Vegas is a fantastic memorial to one of the most unusual entertainers of our time, or the 20th century.  With his piano, rhinestones, candelabra, glitz and music, Liberace dazzled the crowds wherever he played or went.  Receiving awards like the best instrumentalist of the year, best dressed entertainer, 2 Emmys, entertainer of the year, 6 gold albums and 2 stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.  The Guinness Book of Records has him listed as the highest paid musician and pianist of his time, and he was known throughout the world as Mr. Showmanship.  Born in Wisconsin, in 1919, Walter Valentino Liberace was one of four children that grew up in a musical family.  His father, Salvatore, played the French horn in John Phillip Sousa's Marching Band and his mother played the piano.  His incredible rise in the music industry was truly magnificent, and wherever he played the audience loved his music, his style and his affable charm.  The Polish pianist Paderewski visited his family and suggested that he receive a scholarship to the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music.  He then made his debut with the Chicago Symphony at age 20.  In 1947, he began using his trademark oversized grand piano and candle lit candelabra and dropped his first two names using only the name Liberace.  He made his first film in 1950 and made his television debut in 1952.  By 1954, his show was seen on 217 stations and 20 foreign countries.  In 1953, he played Carnegie Hall to a capacity crowd and appeared at Madison Square Garden to a record breaking crowd.

• Nevada State Museum Carson City
  Entering the museum in Carson City, you will encounter the mint building that produced silver coins for the United States from 1870 until 1893, altogether 57 issues bearing the distinguishing CC mint mark and the Coin Press No. 1 that made them; and a complete set of the Carson City Morgan silver dollars.  Another venue is the changing earth exhibit that shows the state's geologic history from 1750 million years ago until 40 million years.  This exhibit showcases rock specimens, field photos and original illustrations and a Devonian Sea that you can walk through.  Our nation's biggest exhibited Columbian Mammoth is here, transported from its find at the Black Rock desert, where it had fought for its life in a small mud hole.  Another area is the Nevada timeline that allows you to wander through a underground mine and creatures not usually seen, like the Desert Bighorn, Lahontan Cutthroat trout, Desert tortoise, Great Basin rattlesnake or black bear.  The USS Nevada Battleship silver service was made from 417 pounds of silver from the Tonopah mines and lined with gold from the town of Goldfield.  Under one sky is a Native American exhibit that was created by the Indians themselves with their ideas, philosophies and words.  They will tell you of the first people, the foods that grew naturally in the area and the many skills they had to learn to survive.  A Great Basin cave has been recreated here with evidence of cultures and climates of days gone by.  The Slot Machines; The Fey Collection shows many of the machines that were designed by Charles Fey and used throughout the state's casinos.
   

• Stewart Indian Cultural Center
  The Stewart Indian Cultural Center started as a school that tried to teach the Native Americans how to live as the white people that were overrunning their lands and destroying the animals that roamed the area and was the main staple of their diet.  Later it became a cultural center that housed their artifacts; collections of arrowheads, baskets, shells, turquoise, food items, skins and tools for making baskets and other items that were used by the tribes.  It tells of the lifestyle of the Indians and their unique culture that helped them survive in a hostile land.  The center is a wonderful place to learn and experience the hardships and trials that these hardy people went through as the country around them changed as the white man moved slowly westward, taking, destroying and eventually forcing them from the land that had been theirs for centuries.  It is a sad story, with moments of happiness entwined with the nomadic lifestyles that these adventurous people endured.  Special pottery examples, photographs taken by E.S. Curtis and items that are for sale like rugs; art; silver jewelry and more are here for the visitor to enjoy.

• Governor's Mansion at Carson City
  The neo classical design of the governor's mansion was done by George Ferris in 1909 and the first family of the state of Nevada moved in to it in July 1909.  It was Denver Dickerson and his family, and his daughter, June, was the first and only child to be born in the mansion.  Until that time, the governor's and their families would find lodging wherever they could, as long as it was close to the capital.  The home was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1976, and it is truly a lovely home.  Featuring Georgian and Jeffersonian motifs, the mansion has many of the antique furnishings that were brought to the house in the early 20th century.  Today, the mansion is involved in quite a legal dispute between Governor Jim Gibbons and his wife Dawn.  The governor had filed for divorce and moved out of the mansion; however, according to law, he needs to live there.  His wife wishes to continue on as the first lady, so has stated that she will occupy the guest house and the governor can move into the mansion.

• Comstock Lode Virginia City
  The Comstock Lode was discovered in 1859 and was the initial major deposit of silver ore found in the United States.  Between 1859 and 1878, over $400 million in silver and gold bullion was uncovered and contributed to great wealth that helped build the areas of Nevada and San Francisco; as well as making advances in mining techniques.  After 1874, the mines began to give out, but always a few hard luck miners continued to stream over the area and the Virginia Mountains in hopes of striking it rich.  It is quite ironic that the emigrant Mormons on their way to the California gold rush were forced to wait out the hard winters in the mountain passes.  While they were waiting for the ice to melt, they panned the gravel along the Carson river and found gold.  When the passes were open, they went on to the gold rush anticipating to find more gold in the California area.  More emigrants came, camped along the canyon floor and panned for gold, but before too long, the river dried up and they moved on to California.  There wasn't a permanent camp anywhere along the river, until 1852-53 when over 200 men were soon working the banks of the river panning for the gold.  The gold in Gold Canyon was in the quartz veins and as they mined they way up the river, a town called Johntown sprang up.  In 1857, the miners found gold in Six Mile Canyon, about 5 miles north of Gold Canyon and the area in between these two canyons became known as the Comstock Lode.

• The Castle Virginia City
  Sitting at the base of the Sierra Nevada mountains, the city of Virginia City is the biggest federally designated historical district in the nation.  Many of its homes and buildings have been retained in their original condition from the 1870s.  One such building is the home of the mining superintendent Robert Graves.  The mansion's furnishings were imported from Europe, with crystal chandeliers, silver doorknobs, Carrara marble fireplaces and the stairway up, an Italian hanging stairway was held in place with silver stair rods.  No expense was spared as the city was growing and money was no problem.
   

• Lehman Cave, Great Basin National Park
  This great cavern is located in the Great Basin National Park in the eastern area of Nevada and is the most popular reason for visitors coming to this park.  The stalactites, spaeleltherms and fused formations are beautiful to view and many of the limestone formations have created unusual shell like structures known as shields.  The best way to see the cave is by tour guide or ranger guide but the best areas to be viewed are those that the guides will lead you to.  Some of the areas are dimly lit and the guides bring torches to light the best areas, plus will go to some areas and put out the torch so the full effect of the darkness and eerie quiet permeate the cave.  It is completely black and the lack of sound is very intense to many.  The temperature is a constant 50 degrees all year and it makes the whole tour seem strange.  If you enjoy visiting caves, then this is one that will get your attention and make a great day.

• Humboldt National Forest
  The biggest national forest outside of Alaska is the 6.3 million acres of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest in Nevada.  Different than other forests because it is not continuous, but spread over a lot of land and even into California.  It crosses many mountain ranges, including; the Santa Rosa in the north, Spring Mountain near Las Vegas in the south and many areas in the Sierra Nevada Mountains.  The smaller and more northeasterly forest is near Elko, White Pine, Humboldt, Nye and Lincoln counties.  There are 23 wilderness areas in the forest and numerous campgrounds located within the forest that are very enjoyable, serene and isolated.  The hiking is incredible as you walk along the trails going through the forest into the mountain ranges, with springs, lakes, streams and other wonderful areas that will take your mind off other things and problems and let you thrill in this fabulous country.  One of the uses of the economic recovery money is to help clean up the forests, by repairing trails, bridges and roads, make the fish passages better, restore the watersheds, take away biomass that is hazardous and upgrade the many facilities that are there making them more conservation conscious, energy efficient and water conservation.  A huge undertaking, but a glorious one for the many people that will benefit from the opportunity to work in the wild, take pride in their efforts and their country, and give them a meaningful job.
