How many reasons are there to “drop everything” and visit Pioche?
At least a baker’s dozen!
Sydney Martinez with Travel Nevada shares some of the best parts about a road trip to Pioche, including the Million Dollar Courthouse, nearby state parks, “throwback street scenes,” and so much more.

Four of Lincoln County’s five state parks were mentioned among the top state and national parks in Nevada by TripsToDiscover.
Cathedral Gorge, Kershaw-Ryan, Beaver Dam and Echo Canyon state parks were all mentioned. Spring Valley State Park is also spectacular and certainly deserves to be named among the best in the Silver State!

Travel Awaits recently featured many Lincoln County destinations in its article, “Epic Nevada Road Trip: Las Vegas to Great Basin National Park.”
Among the wonderful locations mentioned were Pahranagat National Wildlife Refuge, Caliente, Cathedral Gorge State Park and Pioche. These are all part of the 300-mile road trip that “makes for one wild ride — in the best possible way.”
All high school sports and postseason competitions sanctioned by the Nevada Interscholastic Activities Association were shut down in mid-March by order of Governor Steve Sisolak in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
That also shut down the Nevada High School Rodeo Association (NHSRA) season for students in Nevada with the concern that the state finals, which competitors had been working hard to prepare for, would be canceled as well.
However, the Alamo High School Rodeo Club, small as it is, stepped forward and offered to provide facilities in which to hold the state finals.

Trails have stretched around the county for decades, but recently the city of Caliente has leaned into the idea of using the area’s natural beauty and those rugged pathways not only to enhance the community economically but socially as well.
According to Christine Harrington, the Caliente Mountain Biking Association Chair, new mountain bike trails in and around Caliente were unique in a lot of ways from the start. While most bike trails around the country are developed off pre-trodden pathways used by farmers and wildlife, these trails were designed and implemented from scratch. The project, spearheaded by previous mayor Stana Hurlburt, had help from the Bureau of Land Management, the Nevada State Parks, Lincoln County and the City of Caliente.

Caliente, Nev. — The Southern Nevada Off-Road Enthusiasts returned to Caliente for the SNORE Skull Rush May 29-30.
One of the oldest sanctioned auto racing bodies in the country – and the oldest off-road racing faction in the nation – SNORE once again assembled its troops and headed some 180 miles to the north for yet another effort deemed “flawless” by promoters and “that will go down in SNORE history as one of the club’ best-ever-efforts” especially when considering the factions that included last-minute adjustments such as environmental challenges that have rocked the world since early March.
