Known as the Crossroads of the West, North Nevada was once home to a major emigrant
route that brought explorers through the area. In the mid 1900s, this Nevada
region exploded in growth, as some of the world's largest gold deposits were found
near Carlin. Large open-pit
gold mines continue to produce large quantities of gold and some, such as the
Newmont
Gold Company in Elko, will
arrange tours to teach people about current gold extracting methods. The history
of Northern Nevada thrives in the municipal centers of Winnemucca,
Elko and Battle
Mountain. Visitors enjoy strolling through downtown Winnemucca, where historic
buildings are displayed as restaurants, pubs and boutique shops. For history buffs,
the Trail
of the 49ers Interpretive Center in Battle Mountain and the Northeastern
Nevada Museum are an opportune place to learn about the region's rich heritage.
Outdoor enthusiasts can head to the Wild
Horse Recreation Area in Elko, where camping, fishing and boating are found.
