We took the full 90 minute tour. Great tour guide. The walk was not difficult at all. There are stairs, and a few places where even I, at 5 feet, had to bend low in order not to bang my head. It's a cool 50 degrees, you need a light weight jacket. Bring a camera, you will love this tour.

Museum on former site of Ward, a small mining town.

The Ward Charcoal Ovens was on my Nevada bucket list. Exploring them lived up to my expectations. The history of these well built structures is fascinating. One tip:when heading south on route 50, take the second turn (look for the official park sign) to drive 7 miles on a dirt road to the site. What a cool place to visit!

It’s great to reconnect with your nature inner spirit. This was the back entrance. We eventually found the right entrance.
5. Eureka Opera House

This recently restored structure dates from the 1880s.
Reviewed By DoughertySean - Las Vegas, United States
A classic opera house that has been a working entertainment venue since the 1800s. It was a vaudeville theater, a movie theater and now a live performance theater (they also host bingo nights). We had a great experience because the woman who works there showed us the whole building - back of the stage, the lower level, the balcony and projection room - and gave us the history at the same time. We particularly appreciated her taking so much time with us given that the place was scheduled to close for lunch just after we arrived. The house is beautiful, highlighted by a reproduction of its old time vaudeville curtain that was recreated based on a photograph by a design firm in Minnesota. Definitely a stop if you are in Eureka.

The Nevada Northern Railway is a non-profit historical foundation whose mission is to maintain and operate what has been acclaimed as the best-preserved railroad facility in the United States. Come, enjoy history with us! We offer 90-minute train rides up toward the historic Ruth Copper Mine, as well as a view into the history of what put this mining town on the map. Don't miss the included tour of the Engine House and yard after the train ride. You can see the facility that has been servicing these steam locomotives for over a century now. For the serious railfan, we offer the opportunity to be at the throttle (and brakes!) Of a real, standard-gauge, steam locomotive on your own private run "up the hill." Covid-19: Masks are required to ride the train and while inside buildings.

Scenic, 2.8-mile hiking trail at Nevada's Great Basin National Park.
Reviewed By rdrees - San Francisco, United States
Our family of five have been to many national parks, and this hike is one of our very favorites. It has an exhilarating but not too strenuous uphill climb that ends up placing you among the oldest trees in the world. The bristlecone pines are almost spiritual in their shriveled majesty, while imparting a sense of weariness along with hopeful wisdom. Don’t miss out on this relatively short hike if you make it to Great Basin National Park, as it is truly special.
10. Lattin Farms
