U.S. Route 50

Officially named the "Loneliest Road in America" this barren stretch of Nevada road offers almost nothing but sky and open fields.

Toquima Cave

This central Nevada cave is the spiritual home of ancient and enigmatic pictographs.

Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park

Only intact Ichthyosaur skeleton in the United States.

Stokes Castle

This railroad magnate's 19th century tower is more than a little bit out of place in the Nevada desert.
