Long considered the "hub of the sierra", Carson City's distinct character has been molded by the industries that made it a bustling frontier town in the late 1800's - logging, mining, and, of course, the railroad.
Today's recreational pioneers are still hitting pay dirt, enjoying a mother lode of history, sightseeing, shopping, skiing, golf, and more. You’re surrounded by recreational choices – golf at nine world-class courses, kayaking and fishing on the Carson River, scenic trails for biking and hiking, water sports, and snow skiing at nearby Lake Tahoe. There are also multiple historic points of interest, including the State Capitol grounds and Nevada State Railroad Museum in town and Virginia City next-door. Sweeten the pot with first-class accommodations, casino action, entertainment, and special community events and you'll find the Carson City of today - a thriving capitol with culture, charm and all the adventure of the Wild West.
The colorful and informative Carson City visitor guide publication is printed annually and circulated as a vacation planning tool for visitors and as a handy reference guide for local residents. This is the perfect planning tool for your vacation to Carson City.
