“If Utah’s western neighbor has always seemed like a place to hurry through on the way to California, this handsomely printed guide may give travelers other ideas. Nevada has something unusual to offer the birdwatcher (Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge), the gourmand (the best in authentic Basque food), history buffs (countless stage stops, old mining towns, etc.), outdoor lovers (Lakes Mead and Tahoe, Wheeler Peak Scenic Area, Ruby Mountains), and folks who enjoy museums, nightclub entertainment, and, of course, the glitter and noise of legal gambling. The guide give the historical background of each section of the state and then outlines a variety of tours that can be taken from a major city or town in the area. The Glasses provide excellent information for driving on Nevada’s back roads: exact mileage between reference points, availability of services, whether the road is safe for passenger cars, and what to see and why.” —Utah Historical Quarterly
