Nevada: beyond the desert's edge
Join me as I recount my unexpected journey through Nevada, a land that surprised me with its cold mountain air, snow-capped peaks, and diverse landscapes of hills and canyons, far beyond the desert stereotype. Discover the surprising beauty of the Silver State!
A frosty welcome
As I crossed the Idaho-Nevada state line, I anticipated endless desert, but Nevada had a delightful surprise in store. Soon, snow began to appear along the highway, and with every mile, the elevation climbed, revealing more and more of winter's embrace in unexpected mountain ranges.
Wells: a mountain retreat
After five hours of driving, I found myself deep within Nevada's unexpected mountains. The day culminated in a peaceful stop for the night in Wells, a charming small Native American town that offered a warm respite from the snowy journey and truly showcased Nevada's diverse geography.
Navigating nevada's wonders
If you're planning a trip, a word of caution: the winds near Ely can be fierce, requiring careful driving to keep your car on the road. But don't let that deter you! My top advice is to pull over at every viewpoint along your route. The canyons and valleys are truly amazing and offer breathtaking perspectives you won't want to miss.
