The Nevada region
A Few Facts About Nevada:
During the Cold War, the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission chose a Nevada site to test nuclear weapons.
Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park near Gabbs has fossils of ancient fishlike reptiles.
Virginia City, founded when the Comstock Lode was discovered, was home to 20,000 people at its peak in the 1870s but now has only about 800.
John Charles Frémont led the first thorough exploration of the Great Basin, which includes most of Nevada, in 1843 and 1844.
Nevada is the driest state in the nation with an average annual rainfall of only about 7 inches. The wettest part of state receives about 40 inches of precipitation per year, while the driest spot has less than four inches per year.
Nevada was made famous by the discovery of the fabulous Comstock Lode in 1859. Its mines have produced large quantities of gold, silver, copper, lead, zinc, mercury, barite, and tungsten.
Nevada is the gambling and entertainment capital of the United States.
Hoover Dam, near Las Vegas, impounds the waters of Lake Mead, one of the world's largest artificial lakes.
In 1899 Charles Fey invented a slot machine named the Liberty Bell. The device became the model for all slots to follow.
There were 16,067 slots in Nevada in 1960. In 1999 Nevada had 205,726 slot machines, one for every 10 residents.
Nevada is the largest gold-producing state in the nation. It is second in the world behind South Africa.
Las Vegas has more hotel rooms than any other place on earth.
Close to Hoover Dam and the Grand Canyon.The most mountainous state in America, Nevada is known as the ‘silver state’ for its abundance of precious metal.
With a landscape that ranges from arid desert to snow-topped mountains, Nevada made its fortune from mining, and resorts like Las Vegas and Reno continue to boost its economy.
Although Spain claimed the Nevada region during the 1500s, no exploration occurred until the early 1800s. Native Americans living there at that time included the Paiute, Shoshone, and Washoe tribes.
During the 1820s, trappers from the Hudson Bay Company explored the Humboldt River. Jedediah Smith traveled across the Las Vegas valley and William Wolfskill blazed the Old Spanish Trail into California. Complete exploration of Nevada occurred during the 1840s; John C. Frémont explored and charted the Great Basin and Sierra Nevada.
At the end of the Mexican-American War (1846-1848), the southwest came under U.S. control. In 1850, the Utah Territory, that included Nevada, was established. Some of the first settlers came to Nevada during this time. Genoa was established by Mormon pioneers and became a trading post for those traveling to California.
Some non-Mormons came to Carson Valley. They did not want to be part of the Utah Territory that was ruled by a Mormon leader. Without Congressional approval they established their own territorial government. In 1859, ore was discovered near what is now Virginia City and thousands came in search of gold and silver. With sufficient population in 1861, Congress could now create the Nevada Territory.
Nevada did not have a large enough population to become a state during the Civil War (1861-1865). However, President Lincoln saw that most Nevadans were anti-slavery and that the North was in desperate need of silver and gold to help pay for the war. On Oct. 31, 1864, Nevada became the 36th state of the Union with Carson City as its capital.
During the late 1860s, several miners settled the northwestern counties of Nevada. The following decade, mines closed as the value of silver dropped. Thousands of miners left Nevada looking for work, others turned to ranching. The 1880s brought even harder years on the economy. Unusually cold winters killed much of the livestock and mines near Virginia City stopped producing gold and silver.
During the early 1900s, new mines near Tonopah discovered silver. Gold was found in Goldfield and copper near Ruth and Mountain City. These discoveries provided new jobs and strengthened Nevada’s economy. Railroad expansion opened new markets and the Newlands Irrigation Project made farming possible through irrigation.
After World War I (1914-1918), the value of copper and lead dropped dramatically, causing many mines to close. The Great Depression also left many without work. In 1931, gambling was legalized in Nevada. Casinos provided jobs and brought tourists to the state. The Hoover Dam Project also provided many jobs that year.
In 1950, the Atomic Energy Commission opened a nuclear testing centre north of Las Vegas. During the late 1900s, tourism remained the largest industry in Nevada. Las Vegas alone attracted more than 15 million tourists a year. Reno also built large casinos and ski resorts were built at Lake Tahoe.
Nevada’s population grew immensely during the late 1900s and water became a major concern. In 1963, the Supreme Court ruled on a water dispute of the Colorado River between Nevada and neighboring states. Later in 1983, the Water Project was created to provide increased water for expected growth within Las Vegas.

(The Grand Canyon: 172 Miles)
The Grand Canyon is listed as one the Seven Natural Wonders of the World. Only 172 miles away from Las Vegas this is a must see!
Facts about the Grand Canyon:
* The Grand Canyon contains several major ecosystems. * The Grand Canyon hosts five of the seven life zones and three of the four desert types in North America. If you were to travel from Mexico to Canada you would see the same five life zones represented in the Grand Canyon. * Over 1,500 plant, 355 bird, 89 mammalian, 47 reptile, 9 amphibian, and 17 fish species are found in the park. Since the entire canyon has little soil there is very little vegetation is seen except on parts of the rims. The northern rim is partly forested with evergreens. In the depths of the valley very little grows except desert plants and Spanish bayonet.
(San Diego Zoo 258 Miles)
The San Diego Zoo has had a love affair with giant pandas ever since two of the black-and-white bears came to visit in 1987. After years of red tape and tons of application paperwork, the Zoo and China agreed on a 12-year research loan of two giant pandas, Bai Yun and Shi Shi. A brand-new exhibit area was built for our panda guests, which has since been expanded and renovated and is now called the Giant Panda Research Station. This is a must visit zoo!
