Nevada's incredible landscapes are often overshadowed by the glitz and glitz of its biggest city, Las Vegas.
While this is a city you won't want to miss, Nevada is a state filled with incredible natural attractions, scenic walks, small towns and wonderful opportunities for outdoor activities.
The sparkling blue water of Lake Tahoe, surrounded by mountains that are often snow-capped, is one of Nevada's most beautiful spots.
This 35-kilometer-long freshwater lake, high in the Sierra Nevada Mountains on the Nevada-California border, is a popular year-round destination.
National parks and recreation areas provide excellent terrain for walking, cycling, climbing, horseback riding and fishing.
You can even find ski hills in the high mountains.
If you're not up to this level of activity, you can simply enjoy the view from the comfort of your car.
