WILD NEVADA Season 7


#701 - Recreation Meets Preservation:
Exploring how recreation is bringing new activity to historic locations in northern Nevada. We visit the Capital to Tahoe Trail project that now connects existing Carson City trails into a whole new adventure. Then, we enjoy a fly-fishing lesson at the historic Hobart Reservoir. And we visit Sky Tavern, a location that generations of Nevadans have known as a ski area but is also now a premier single-track mountain bike destination.

#702 - Rock-Hounding and Gem-Hunting:
Discovering fire opals, garnets, fluorite and quartz in the heart of Nevada. We travel across the state from Denio to Ely, and from Austin to Verdi, to enjoy a sampling of the treasures that the Silver State offers for rockhounding adventurers.

#703 - Lakes of the Eastern Sierra
While Lake Tahoe is considered the gem of the Sierras, there are lots of other fascinating lakes and reservoirs to explore. From wildlife watching and kayaking, to sight-seeing and back-country hiking, we sample some of the fun and beauty of Spooner, Marlette, Donner, Independence and Lake Davis.

#704 - The Lesser Known Rubies
Discover some of the lesser known and often unseen miles of backcountry trail and breath-taking views in the Ruby Mountains including Soldier Creek, Robison Lake, and the Ruby Marshes, along with visits to Harrison Pass and Angel Lake.

#705 - Black Rock to Incandescent Rock
This trip features some of the amazing and diverse geology of northern Nevada. We head to across the playa and up Black Rock Point before exploring the colorful geological history on display in the Incandescent Rocks Scenic Area.

#706 - Living with Wildfire
Spending time in the open spaces of the Silver State, it’s almost inevitable that you will encounter the impact of wildfires. In this episode, we look at not only the importance of being fire aware, but also how prevention, recovery and fire science work together to help us safely enjoying our unique landscapes.
