With the arrival of warm weather and the children almost through school for the semester, this is the time to think about a summer visit to the cooler climates of Northern Nevada. One of the most stunning areas you can visit lies just east of Elko — the Ruby Mountains.
Hackberry Canyon in the southwestern section of the 1.9- million-acre Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah remains so enchantingly unspoiled it’s easy to forget you’re in the 21st century. And that’s the point of going there! While the hike is quite remote, the reward is a stunning narrow canyon, carved by a perennial stream, flanked by lush vegetation. If you go right now, there are also wildflowers.
Lincoln County, Nevada, our nearest neighboring county to the north, is rich in sites where you can see unspoiled petroglyphs, the mysterious rock carvings that have graced cliffs and boulders since prehistoric times. Two of my favorite sites in that area are the White River Narrows Archaeological District and the Mount Irish Rock Art and Archaeological District, both located off State Route 318, north of Alamo and Hiko.
