Nevada's Natural & Historic Parks
Nevada's landscape extends beyond the desert to include high-altitude forests, glacial lakes, and significant historical landmarks. This selection features the massive Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest and the beehive-shaped kilns of Ward Charcoal Ovens. Visitors can explore the well-preserved Berlin ghost town alongside 225-million-year-old Ichthyosaur fossils, or observe desert bighorn sheep within the expansive Desert National Wildlife Range. From the granite shores of Lake Tahoe to the lush canyon springs of Kershaw-Ryan, these parks preserve the state's diverse geological history and pioneer heritage.
