Rural Wranglers: Minden & Gardnerville
Batman and Robin. Simon and Garfunkle. Peanut butter and jelly. Synergy occurs when two equally exceptional sides join to form a whole; the result is a new creation more than just the sum of two parts. Minden and Gardnerville are separate, unique, and rich towns right next to one another. So close in fact, even locals can be uncertain where one ends and the other begins. Whichever you’re in, however, you’ll find it all adds up to one perfect experience.

Walk It Out
I tried to love skiing. I grew up in the mountains and signed up for the cheap ski lessons through my junior high, but I couldn’t get into it. I tried it again in my early ‘20s, thinking maybe my personality had magically changed in the ensuing years, but it’s just not my sport. Still, I couldn’t spend an entire season indoors.
Enter my first pair of snowshoes, a birthday gift I received during my first winter in Nevada. Now, 10 years—and hundreds of stomps—later, I am still using the same gear. Every time I head out, it costs me exactly zero dollars (unless you count gas and the rare occasion I pay for a cross-country course). The zero dollars is not my favorite thing about snowshoeing, but it’s a pretty awesome perk. Another bonus? Snowshoeing has almost no learning curve. If you can walk, you can snowshoe, and the cardio workout is no joke.
