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.
