Year Round Vacation Ideas in Reno

Take a trip back in time with a visit to Virginia City, approximately 20 miles from Reno. More on Virginia City.

For those of you who love to hit the open road and travel at your own pace with no particular destination in mind, scenic driving tours might be just the right thing for you.

If you've done the Lake Tahoe trip around the lake, then drive east to Elko, cowboy country, with its pristine beauty and rich history. Lamoille Canyon is a favorite for its wildlife, waterfalls, and avalanche chutes. Then travel on to visit the town of Lamoille, located at the foot of the Ruby Mountains. Proceed on to Jiggs (summer and autumn are suggested months to visit as you can expect heavy snow in winter).
