Pioneer Territory
The Pioneer Territory is a haven for history lovers and fanatics. This area is known for its ghost towns and historic mining towns created by Nevada’s famous era of monetary boom and bust a century ago. The adventuresome will also find great playgrounds to hike, climb, bike, and camp under the watch of scenic vistas, geologic wonderlands, and the state’s looming mountains. Sand boarding and paragliding are the latest adventure trends at Amargosa Dunes, where dune buggies and all-terrain vehicles fly over the incredible mounds of sand. Mining still thrives in Nevada and the state ranks third in the world for gold production. One can tour Round Mountain Gold, near the town of Tonopah, which is a modern open-pit mining company that allows visitors to watch the blasting of rock that contains flecks of gold! The natural attractions in the region seem endless and include the following: Death Valley National Park, Ash Meadows, a natural refuge famous for the mystifying Devil’s Hole and its endangered pupfish, Cathedral Gorge, Echo Canyon, Beaver Dam, Belmont Courthouse and Fort Churchill state historic sites and Walker Lake state recreation area. Those interested in the extraterrestrial won’t want to miss a drive down State Route 375, Nevada’s “Extraterrestrial Highway” that passes by Area 51, a top-secret military base said to be dedicated to the study of aliens. |
