Finding Nevada Wild
The Terrain, Culture, and People of the Most Mysterious State in the West
$34.99
Offering an entry point to understanding the landscapes, culture, and people of Nevada, this inspiring and personal ode to the Silver State takes curious adventurers off the grid to experience a version of the state few people truly know.
When many people think of Nevada, they think of Las Vegas, Area 51, and an unending, empty desert–but there’s a lot more to the Great Basin State than that. Author and dedicated Nevada aficionado Sydney Martinez has devoted many years to exploring the ultra-rural wonders of Nevada, and in Finding Nevada Wild, she helps fellow adventurers get to know an often-misunderstood state.
Written from the perspective of someone who has researched, visited, and experienced many of Nevada’s most defining places, Finding Nevada Wild features chapters devoted to various interests and activities. Vivid photography accompanies personal stories and practical guidance to show why Nevada should be at the top of everyone’s must-experience list.
Offering a combination of content and design that is as equally at home on a coffee table as it is serving as a guidebook for unforgettable adventures in Nevada’s ultra-rurals, Finding Nevada Wild helps readers to discover the true essence of the Silver State.
