Nevada Magazine – | Experience Nevada

Discover the Latest Issue

As 2024 cruises toward its end, it seems impossible another year is in the books. Our annual gift guide is here to help spur on some Nevada-centric holiday shopping. Speaking of annual things, our 2024 Great Nevada Picture Hunt is inside, and all I can say to this year’s winners is WOW. I took a trip recently to Kingston to stay in some new-to-me digs and came away so impressed I’m working on another trip. I also checked out Walker River State Recreation Area, and this vast state park is a wonder to wander. You’ll find both of those stories inside, along with a photographic journey by our creative staff to Nevada’s super remote northwest corner. These experiences are just one way this magazine is unique to other publications out there: We travel this state, experiencing the land and the people so we can share it with you. We don’t phone it in…we live it.

Walker River State Recreation Area

In 1862, a wagon bounced over a stretch of dusty road from the booming mining town of Aurora to Nine Mile Ranch, just outside soon-to-be Yerington. On board was Samuel Clemens (aka Mark Twain) racing to the aid of his seriously ill friend, Captain John Nye who owned the ranch. Nye recovered, but the trip cost Clemens a sizeable fortune. He lost his claim due to his absence. Clemens’ trek to Nine Mile Ranch was a costly one, but today, the benefits of visiting the area far outweigh any cost. The ranch is just one small part of the Walker River State Recreation Area (Walker River SRA) which opened in 2018. ... read more
