Nevada

Nevada is a mountainous region with vast semiarid grasslands and sandy alkali deserts. It is the country’s driest state. Nevada, which was one of the fastest-growing states in the country in the early twenty-first century, appears a long way from the days when Virginia City was a fabled frontier town thriving on the rich silver mines of the Comstock Lode.
