Walk through Nevada's Wild Western history at these spectacular sites

Walk through Nevada’s Wild Western history at these spectacular sites Travel Nevada Believe it or not, our state is home to more ghost towns than actual populated ones. And a bunch of these time-tested beauties are yours for exploring if you’ve got a few free hours and a sense of adventure. Next time you need a blast from (and with) the past, pack up and point your car in the direction of these six ghost towns outside of Reno.  Fort Churchill State Historic Park Less than an hour from Reno, this former military fort dates back to 1861, and its ruins set against wide-open skies are a favorite for golden-hour and nighttime galactic photo shoots. Designated trails will get you up close and personal with these remnants of the past – also  rumored to be an active paranormal hot spot – and the rest of the park is well worth enjoying, too. With 3,200 acres along the Carson River, it’s a little slice of paradise for hikers, bikers, birdwatchers, anglers, canoers, and campers.
