Fallon Population: 24,000
  The Fallon area is an oasis in the desert, part of the Carson River Water System. Visitors to the Fallon area will find a bounty of water-based recreational opportunities surrounding a spread-out rural community.
     
Lake Tahoe
  Lake Tahoe is one of California’s most famous destinations. The largest alpine lake in North America, Tahoe’s cold clear waters collect the runoff from more than 600 inches of snow which dust the surrounding peaks each season, attracting skiers from around the world, and in summer, the deep blue waters attract boaters, anglers, cyclists, and hot air balloonists.
     
Pyramid Lake
  Just north of the Sparks/Reno metropolis lies Pyramid Lake, a large freshwater lake nestled between two rugged mountain ranges. Appropriately names for a pyramid-shaped island that juts dramatically 800 feet straight out of the lake, this scenic spot is a true oasis in the middle of the Nevada desert.
     
Reno Population: 200,000
  Reno, the "Biggest Little City in the World," is northwest Nevada's tourist hub. Combining with Sparks to make one large metro area, Reno has both its share of casinos, and an abundance of high quality adventure opportunities right at its doorstep, including Lake Tahoe and the Sierra Nevada a short drive to the west.
     
Virginia City Population: 1500
  Virginia City is the quintessential western mining boomtown. Steeped in gold and silver rush lore, this historically significant town has now shifted focus to the tourist trade, catering to visitors curious about mining history and the wild west. Museums, historical homes, traditional western saloons and mining tours are all on hand.
     
Walker Lake
  Walker Lake, located within the Walker Lake State Recreation Area, is one of the last remnants of Lake Lahontan which covered much of western Nevada nearly 10,000 years ago. Walker Lake now covers 36,000 acres and is defined dramatically on one side by 11,245 foot tall Mt. Grant. Visitors to Walker Lake will find it offers excellent recreational opportunity including boating, hiking, waterskiing, wakeboarding and good wildlife viewing.
