Born for Adventure
Beneath the mystic mountain peaks of the Sierra Nevadas, those who live in Carson City know that adventure is available to them regardless of the season. Cycling is one way people get around and there are plenty of backcountry and mountains to bike throughout most of the year. When the air turns chilly and the snow falls, take off to Spooner Lake to snowshoe around its popular and beautiful trais.

Spring, summer, winter or fall, Carson City offers endless, memorable adventures for everyone.
The Gorgeous Sierra Nevadas
As you drive into the Carson Valley, the magnificent skyline of this mountain range is undeniable and breathtaking. Reaching a full 400 miles from north to south, its beauty both humbles and inspires. A multitude of peaks reaching altitudes between 9,000 and 10,000 feet are snow-capped most of the year, with Jobs Peak rising as the tallest at 10,633 feet.
World Class Fishing
Fishing has long been one of man’s favorite past times, and in a location like Carson City where there are a variety of lakes and streams, you’re sure to have some luck catching kokanee salmon, mackinaw or even brown or rainbow trout. Whether you’re adept at fly fishing or spin fishing, you can cast your line in the Carson River, nearby Pyramid Lake or even Topaz Lake, a manmade lake that holds a winter fishing derby every year.
Nevada State Capital
As the capital city of Nevada since its induction into the United States of America, Carson City is distinctly different from other cities in Nevada like Reno and Las Vegas. The population in Carson City is growing, but still runs a more relaxing 10% of the population of Las Vegas. Carson City is flanked by mountains, streams, and blessed with the changing of seasons. And, as it was in the past, the mining of copper and silver continues. The Nevada State Museum was once a mint established to coin the incredible silver output of one of the world’s richest deposits known as the Comstock Lode. The historic and picturesque state capital building in Carson City is open for tours and stands as a monument to the railroad age and what was, during its construction 150 years ago, a growing frontier town.
The Best Kept Ski Secret
For those who dream of skiing, Carson City sits among the best ski destinations in the world. With 15 mountain resorts beckoning nearby, it’s easy to spend a day or weekend on the slopes. Check out Heavenly Mountain Resort which certainly lives up to its name, and for skiers who long for even more of a challenge, Kirkwood Mountain Resort will get your heart racing and your legs soaring. The Eastern Sierras are the home base and backdrop for spectacular skiing as well as summertime activities like zip lining and mountain coasters while the family (patiently) waits for cooler weather.
Sand Harbor
A day at Sand Harbor in Lake Tahoe, is more than just a day at the beach. As one of the most stunning Nevada State Parks, there are opportunities for scuba diving, kayaking, swimming, fishing, and water skiing along this peaceful retreat. With plenty of picnic sites and barbeques, it’s a place to enjoy crystal clear water and fascinating rock formations. It’s also home to the Lake Tahoe Shakespeare Festival, so you can sit back and take in a play amongst the rugged peaks and pines.
