Cowboy Country
Natural, historic and recreational opportunities can be found throughout Cowboy Country. This region found its first towns and people by way of the 1849 gold rushers. However, it is the unique traditions, culture, and heritage of the cattle ranchers that have had the most lasting effect on the region. Start your travel in Wells, close to the Nevada-Utah border, which is a gateway to the East Humboldt Range. Offering numerous occasions for outdoor activity, visitors can hike, bike, or watch for wildlife on its plentiful trails. High in this mountain range is the spectacular Angel Lake. Arguably one of the state’s most beautiful lakes, it is a great place to participate in water sports and activities. Anglers will want to check out the Ruby Marshes. Noted as some of the state’s best fishing, it is also a wildlife sanctuary, attracting rare and numerous waterfowl. Elko, the region’s most metropolitan area, is also an outdoorsman’s paradise with fly, lure, and bait fishing available. Big game and bird hunting are also big attractions in the area. Elko is a natural hub for side trips to the Ruby Mountains and the Jarbidge Wilderness, two great havens for hiking, backpacking and mountain biking in a relatively unspoiled area. |
