YouTuber Kevin Eassa shares A Day at Cathedral State Park. He writes, “Nevada’s biggest hidden gem, this is such an underrated state park filled with crazy rock formations, slot canyons, caves, and extremely unique hikes. This is definitely a place to add to your bucket list.”
The Travel: Closest Hike to ‘Area 51’
“Tikaboo Peak is around 26 miles away from Area 51. At a height of 8,000 ft (2,500m), the peak is not easy to the summit and requires some serious dedication. While it’s possible to do it entirely on foot, it is highly recommended to ascend most of the way in a 4WD car. The roads are unpaved and mucky, making them difficult to drive on with regular cars.”
Dirt Bike Magazine: 2022 Nevada 200 Entries Open
“The Nevada 200 began in 1985 as an invitational event hosted by Casey Folks and Scot Harden. In the early days invitations were circulated by word of mouth to a small number of close riding friends and buddies. As the number of riders grew, Scot and Casey selected the remote eastern Nevada community of Caliente, Nevada as their base. The area around Caliente provided a very unique combination of high desert and mountain terrain that was perfectly suited to the tight, technical nature of the riding they liked most. Over the course of the three-day event, riders experienced every type of terrain imaginable.”
