Dan - Your Road Warrior Guide

💡 Tips from Dan

Your Road Warrior Guide

  • Visit in the cooler months to avoid the scorching desert heat.
  • Ensure you dress in comfortable walking shoes as the terrain can be uneven.
  • Bring plenty of water and sun protection for those hot Nevada days.
  • Take a quiet moment to reflect at the memorial for the victims of past violence.
  • Don't miss the local museum for a deeper dive into the area's rich history.

What Dan Packs

Based on what you'll be doing, Dan recommends:

Insulated Water Bottle

Essential

Keeps water cold for hours. Hydration is critical in desert heat.

Polarized Sunglasses

Essential

UV reflection off rock and water is intense. Protect your eyes.
