Nevada's capital has history, nightlife, shopping, views, and a big city's worth of fun packed into a mini-metropolis you can drive through in under half an hour. Carson City's rustic beginnings as a frontier town shine bright with history, museums, events and more. The Kit Carson Trail winds through one of the largest historic residential districts in the West, passing turn-of-the-century mansions, courthouses, a depot, even a brewery. The State Capitol grounds are open to the public year-round and provide a glimpse into the birth of Divine Nine Golf. Several world-class golf courses provide options beyond compare. Just a stone's throw from Lake Tahoe, Carson City is central for skiing and water sports too. Just up the hill, the Wild West lives on with out Sister in History - witness re-enacted gunfights, catch a camel race, or try your luck in an old-time salon in historic Virginia City.
