Ichthyosaurus Park and a Ghost Town

by DSwede

They first appeared in the Trassic seas 250 million years ago. Ichthyosaurus were called fish lizards because they had evolved from reptiles, but could swim like fish. Ichthyosaurus were able to move easily through water because they were streamlined.The ichthyosaurus found in the Berlin-Ichthyosaurus State Park are some of the largest in the world, between 2 and 50 feet in length. (1 to 16 meters)~~~~Also here is the ghost town of Berlin. Berlin began in the 1860's and became a ghost in 1911. There are several buildings still standing and in quite good condition.Prices, facilities and open hours are listed in the website below.Access and visitation is limited in the winter (November 15th to March 15th), and is available only with advanced reservation during the winter.

CATHEDRAL GORGE STATE PARK

by mtncorg

Slashed into the hillsides just west of US 93 near Panaca are the eroded gullies of Cathedral Gorge. Unlike the sandstone pink flutes and hoodoos found at Cedar Breaks and Bryce Canyon due east of here, Cathedral Gorge is composed of muted tan badlands-like clay formations resulting from an ancient lakebed being uplifted and then subsequent erosion forming the flutes, columns and gullies found today. The main entrance to the park is almost opposite the road going east off US 93 to Panaca. Here you come past a regional visitor center to a picnic area built in the 1930's by the CCC and a nice campground with 22 sites and showers available. From the picnic area, a trail goes up the main eroded gully eventually coming up onto the canyon rim at the Miller Point Overlook, which can be accessed off US 93 a few miles north of the main entrance road. Entry into the park is $4 and camping is about...

RUBY MOUNTAINS

by mtncorg

Another quintessential Great Basin range: long in length - 100 miles, thin in width - 10 miles, steep face on one side - east; and gentler on the other side - west. The Rubys are one of the wetter basin ranges giving them a wide diversity of life. The southe end of the rans is porous limestone which gives rise to hundreds of springs at the mountain's base forming the Ruby Marshes - a birder's paradise. Trails run throughout the range with the 43 mile long Ruby crest trail being the best known. The range is just south of Elko, so see my 'Elko' tips for more on this fine range.

LAMOILLE CANYON

by mtncorg

Set among the 'Alps of Nevada' - the Rubies; Lamoille Canyon is the 'Yosemite of Nevada'. Teh canyon is a large classic glacial valley beginning atop the Ruby Mountain Crest and swinging down to the west in glorious fashion. This is the heart of recreation in the Ruby range. A 12 mile road goes from the canyon mouth to the 8800 foot/2667 meter level where trails take off. Aspen glades run the length. Babbling streams . You are a long ways from the Strip. This is another Nevada.

BOUNDARY PEAK

by mtncorg

Beating out Wheeler Peak by a mere 77 feet/23 meters, Boundary Peak is Nevada's highest mountain at 13140 feet/3982 meters high. Lying on the Californian border - hence the name, the peak is the northern bastion of one of the greatest of all Great Basin ranges, the White Mountains. Most of the range lies in California, in other words, they lie in other California pages that I have yet to create:-) Boundary Peak shares the same ridgeline with the more dramatic Mt Montgomery - one mile away and 300 feet/91 meters higher. Some people think of Boundary Peak as simply part of Mt Montgomery. You can climb Boundary from all sorts of directions, but most do so from the east. The peak is doable in one long day - 10 miles round trip/10-14 hours/4600 feet of elevation gain. Your approach is over dusty roads through dessicated desert into the pinyon-forested Trail Canyon. You slowly make your way...

Valley of Fire State Park II.

by pfsmalo

This being my 2nd visit, and as I hadn't picked up any brochures,I went and paid my dues ($3 x2) at the Park Office, as coming from Overton there is no booth on the way in. Went out and visited the White Domes trail and then the well named "Petroglyph Canyon" trail. Roughly an hour's walk there and back shows up many of the Fremont Indian petroglyphs on the walls, but keep your eyes peeled.

Las Vegas Strip on NYE

by maemae11

We had a once in a lifetime experience on our New Year's trip 2010, I say once in a lifetime because I had fun but I won't ever do it again. There were a TON of people. Definitely not a time to get wasted. At times we had to elbow our way through the crowds. Pretty interesting though, glad I went. I'll leave more comments about some of the shows, but the ones we went to were Gregory Popovich's Pet Comedy Theater, and The Variety Show, both at V Theater.

Las Vegas

by Robmj

There is much more to Las Vegas than gambling but it definitely is the "Gambling capital of the World". Vegas bills itself as the entertainment capital and I guess thats fair enough, there is absolutely loads to see and do. It is an internationally renowned major resort city for gambling, shopping, fine dining, and entertainment. Attractions in Las Vegas include theme parks, roller coasters, museums, national parks, great golf courses and more. You can also easily get married in one of the many themed chapels.It is a city built out of the desert, established in 1905, it now has a population of just under 1.9 million people and was the fastest growing city in America during the 20th century. The city's tolerance for various forms of adult entertainment earned it the title of Sin City, and this image has made Las Vegas a popular setting for films and television programs. Today, however it...

Hoover Dam

by Robmj

The Hoover Dam is a major source of flood control, irrigation and electrical power in the Southwest and was, for several years, the largest dam in the world. It is located in Boulder canyon and was renamed the Hoover Dam in 1947 to recognise the input that President Hoover played in its creation.Today you can drive over it between the Arizona and Nevada borders along highway route 93 and take tours through it if you wish. It is an awe inspiring sight looking towards the dam from downstream.Lake Mead which was created as a result of the dam is now a major recreational spot with fishing, boating, swimming, hiking, camping and sight seeing all available from this area.
