Weather

In the northeastern corner of Nevada, the terrain is supported by molten rock. Rivers and streams have cut deeply into the bedrock, leaving deep canyons with steep ridges. Near the Idaho border the land transforms into an open prairie region. This is part of the Columbia Plateau.
The Sierra Nevada is the rugged mountain range that slices through a portion of Nevada south of Carson City. Lake Tahoe, a beautiful glacial lake, on the California/Nevada border lies in one of the valleys of the Sierra Nevada. The rest of the state is part of the Basin and Range Region. This area is split into more than 150 mountain ranges running from north to south.
Nevada’s desert and semi-desert climate makes outdoor activities enjoyable for residents and visitors year round. With an average of over 265 days of sunshine per year, the pleasant, semi-desert climate is hard to beat! During the summer months, high temperatures average around 95 F; during the winter, around 45 F. Average annual rainfall is approximately 11 inches, and average annual snowfall is 22 inches.

Local Activities

Whether you’re looking for a trip into the ancient past at Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park or a dose of high culture at the architecturally-acclaimed Nevada Museum of Art in Reno, Nevada has a wide range of activities for you.
If you’re looking for outdoor adventure, Nevada is for you. Hiking, Mountain Biking, Hunting, Fishing, and Bird watching, Skiing and Snowboarding, and many State Parks are a wonderful option for the golfer seeking activity, other than spending time on the greens in the golf resort.
For full-throttle motor sports excitement on-road and off, it’s a challenge to find a more welcoming venue than Nevada. From wilderness areas to picnic areas this state has it all. Many of Nevada’s historic 19th- and early 20th-Century mining towns and camps have survived and await your discovery. This is the perfect place for a golf vacation.
