Nevada, which means “covered in snow” in Spanish, is the seventh largest state in the United States. It is nicknamed the “Silver State” after the vast number of silver deposits found there and mined by early settlers. It is a geographically diverse state with the Mojave Desert in the south, the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range on its western border with California and the Great Basin in the North. Over 85 percent of Nevada’s land is owned by the federal government and used for both military and civilian purposes.

While visiting Nevada, tourists can see many sights from the bright lights of Las Vegas and Reno to the red rock formations that seem to dot the state’s unique landscape.
