Meaning “snow-covered” in Spanish, Nevada is a western state that shares borders with five other states. A drilling accident in 1916 opened an underground geothermal vein that created the five-foot by 25-foot Fly Geyser, located about 20 miles north of Gerlach. Visitors to the state can also see the Sedan Crater, which was made during a 1962 nuclear test that displaced 12 million tons of earth. Nevada is one of six states to not have a state lottery, but visitors can travel to Las Vegas to try their luck at gambling.
