Washoe County, Nevada
Washoe County is up in northwestern Nevada, bordering California and Oregon. It’s a place where glitzy casinos and untamed wilderness sit side by side. Reno, the “Biggest Little City in the World,” is the star of the show.
But venture beyond the neon and you’ll discover a different world. Lake Tahoe’s crystal-clear waters draw tourists all day long. The Sierra Nevada mountains loom large, offering world-class skiing in winter and hiking in summer. This county’s got range, from the Black Rock Desert’s endless playa to the lush Tahoe Meadows.
Washoe’s history runs deep, from the native peoples to silver miners to modern-day tech entrepreneurs. Despite the urban sprawl, there’s still plenty of open space where wild horses roam free. It’s a place where you can hit the slots and bag a mountain peak in the same day.

Pyramid Lake steals the show in the southern region of Washoe. But only a small part of Lake Tahoe is here in the southwest. Reno glows with urban gridlines, and Sparks fans out beside it. Northward, it all turns tan and dry in the desert expanse.
