Nevada

About this place

Nevada is a land of stark contrasts, where the jagged peaks of the Great Basin meet the sun-scorched Mojave Desert and the alpine beauty of Lake Tahoe. Beyond the neon glow of the Las Vegas Strip, the state’s heritage is preserved in weathered ghost towns and the vast, open silence of the high desert. Photographers are drawn here to capture the surreal red sandstone of Valley of Fire and some of the clearest dark-sky vistas in the country.
