Car enthusiasts should visit the National Automobile Museum if they can’t make it to Hot August Nights, Reno’s famous classic-car event. Kayakers can enjoy the Truckee River Whitewater Park (the centerpiece of the annual Reno River Festival), conveniently located downtown next to an eclectic mix of shops and eateries.
Couple those activities with Reno's hotels and casinos, plus a growing nightlife, and you have the perfect place to put up for a few days and enjoy some recreation. Within an hour's drive, there are 15 ski resorts, 50 golf courses, Lake Tahoe, the state capital Carson City, thousands of biking and hiking trails, several lakes that are perfect for fishing and boating, and the entire length of the Truckee River, which runs right through the center of Reno's downtown. What began as a small community built to serve westward travelers in the mid-1800s has become a bustling city that acts as the gateway to outdoor adventure in Nevada, aptly known as 'America’s Adventure Place.'
