Nevada DownUnder

Nevada DownUnder The Official Travel Nevada page for Aussies and Kiwis. When other states restrict, we allow. We're characters. We live in our own world.

Nevada is one of the largest states in the U.S., meaning you won’t find a shortage of action. Sure, we're silver mines and pickups and long, lonely roads, but we're also artists and oddballs and one-liner kings. It’s one of the only places you can ski world-class runs in the morning, then walk world-class greens in the afternoon. You can bike or hike the Tahoe Rim Trail, navigate a kayak on the Tr

uckee River through downtown Reno, take an ATV up Sand Mountain near Fallon and snowmobile miles of wide-open terrain near Elko. You can even test your Indy car or NASCAR skills in the Mario Andretti and Jeff Gordon Racing School at Las Vegas Motor Speedway—after you take in a world-famous show and dine at a five-star resort and casino, of course.

Don't miss this road trip stop in Nevada: Fly Geyser! 😲
Water in the desert always creates amazing things—in this case, it happens to be a kaleidoscopic, man made geyser jutting 4m out of the ground, spraying natural hot springs water across spectacular, shallow pools creating and supporting all kinds of life.
