As the seasons change, it’s a time to reflect. Fall brings this about most readily as the landscape undergoes its stunning transformation. It’s the cycle of life’s third act: the one that prepares for a period of dormancy and hibernation after the heady days of summer. The time is right for a little rest and introspection. It’s been almost two years since this publication debuted in its new format and each issue, we listen to feedback and tweak our stories to best serve our readers. These readers include long-time Nevada Magazine subscribers. They come for the stories we’ve told since the magazine began in 1936, and those deep dives (as we like to call them) veer slightly from our tourist-friendly format. All of our stories include peeks into the local view of life here, but some delve a bit more, such as our look at our state flower, sagebrush. This unassuming shrub is key to many plants and animals, and it’s the perfect state symbol. We’ll also tell you about two brothers who left indelible marks on Nevada: Paul and Robert Laxalt are truly Legendary Nevadans. Along with places to visit and things to see, wait until you feast your eyes on our story about places to see fall color.
