Known for vacation spots like Las Vegas and Lake Tahoe, Nevada also offers Great Basin National Park, with lakes, hiking trails, campsites, limestone caves, tall peaks, and dark skies for stargazing. Lake Tahoe is the place for skiing and snow sports in winter, and camping, kayaking, and swimming in summer, and Lake Mead offers boating, fishing, hiking, and more. The Lunar Crater Backcountry Byway passes 20 extinct volcanoes, lava beds, and the state’s largest natural crater.
