Planning a Trip to Nevada

Past the Strip, Nevada is the emptiest driving in the West. Red Rock and Valley of Fire sit an hour from Las Vegas, and the Tahoe side of the state is all pine and granite.

What to Do in Nevada

  1. Drive Valley of Fire from end to end

    An hour from Vegas. Fire Wave and the White Domes loop.

  2. Loop the Red Rock scenic drive

    Thirteen one-way miles, twenty minutes from the Strip.

  3. Take Highway 50 across the middle

    The loneliest road. Fill the tank in every town you pass.

  4. Do the Tahoe east shore from the Nevada side

    Sand Harbor, Bonsai Rock, and the clearest water on the lake.
