Reno-Tahoe Territory

From magnificent Lake Tahoe – which Mark Twain once called “the fairest picture the whole earth affords” – to historic Virginia City, site of one of the West’s greatest mining booms, the Reno-Tahoe Territory contains many of Nevada’s most scenic and historic recreation areas.

At the north end of the territory is the Black Rock Desert, a vast playa of limitless vistas and stark beauty. Black Rock was the site of the first breaking of the sound barrier by a vehicle on land, accomplished in 1997 when the rocket-powered Thrust SSC car traveled 763.035 miles per hour. South of Black Rock is Pyramid Lake, a remnant of a prehistoric inland sea that once covered much of Nevada. The lake is ringed by intriguing tufa rock formations and offers fishing and boating.
