Following in the footsteps of the early settlers that traveled across Nevada in wagon trains, visitors will find the Cowboy Country a diverse and fascinating land rich in the legends, lore and customs of the Old West. There is plenty to do in this wide open country that stretches along Interstate 80 from the Utah border to Reno. The tawny hills bristle with a variety of wildlife.
Wild horses run free.
Game birds, such as pheasant, chukar, quail and sage hen abound. Deer roam in dozens of mountain ranges. Without Interstate 80 there just wouldn't be any way to get from here to there in Nevada. Interstate 80 is the Main Street of northern Nevada. The highway stretches more than 400 miles from the Utah border to California, through the middle of about a dozen communities.
