Nevada Off the Beaten Path A Guide to Unique Places

Think Nevada is nothing more than vast stretches of desert in between Reno and Las Vegas? Think again. From the fascinating history of the Wild West to rugged outdoor recreation opportunities, the Silver State has much to offer. Get to the heart of things with Globe Pequot's Off the Beaten Path series. Devoted to travelers with a taste for the unique, this easy-to-use guide will help you discover the hidden places in Nevada that most tourists miss - out-of-the-way finds that liven up a week's vacation, a day trip, or an afternoon. "While traveling the Extraterrestrial Highway, be sure to stop at the Little A'le'Inn in Rachel. The restaurant, motel, gift shop, and UFO seminar headquarters features racks of UFO T-shirts, caps, and books. You can't miss it - look for the building with the picture of an alien and an earthlings welcome sign on it. Owners Pat and Joe Travis will serve you up an Alien Burger or some other out-of-this-world fare. Or order a Beam Me Up Scotty beverage, which is reported to help the staunchest skeptic to see UFOs."Rinella, Heidi Knapp is the author of 'Nevada Off the Beaten Path A Guide to Unique Places', published 2004 under ISBN 9780762728459 and ISBN 0762728450.
