It is very dangerous to be there due to critical wet bulb temperatures from trump's global warming.

I mean, it kind of is
Source: I flew into Vegas before and saw nothing but desert in the surrounding areas. Also took a bus tour from Vegas and it was all desert with no water anywhere besides Lake Mead. Coming from Michigan it was quite a contrast from what I'm used to

Nevada is literally the most climatically arid US state. It is also the least forested western US state with less than 16% forest cover (the 13 state average for the western US is 33% forest) and of this forest cover more than half is just juniper scrub (not real canopy forest). It is also one of the least biodiverse US states outside of the great plains (the least biodiverse region in the US, even less diverse than Arctic Alaska) for its size and latitude. The reason Nevada is almost completely a desert is due specifically to the Sierra mountain range in California and the fact that NV is too far in the interior to get the humid climates and monsoons from the Pacific ocean like Arizona (which legitimately has actually year round humid forests in canyons, pic related, Arizona at 5,000 elevation). NV is also too far west to get the most of the bend in the Alaska gyre jetstream in winter also like Arizona and Utah that deliver hundreds of inches of winter snow every year to huge 5,000+ sq mi regions of Arizona, Utah, Colorado, and New Mexico. Also due to NV's terrain and natural geography and the predominant climate patterns of the eastern Pacific ocean, Nevada has the fewest number of natural perennial streams and rivers in the western US, having less than New Mexico (which also has less than AZ) and than half as many as Arizona. NV is the only state that is actually seriously threatened with water supply issues as every other western US state gets most of its water from precipitation that falls in its boundaries and in tributaries above the Colorado river, NV depends wholly on the Colorado river and unsustainable ground water. In the last 24 hrs it has rained more than 2 inches at my house here in AZ, and this is just the start of the monsoon and it is typical for multiple events like that in wet monsoon years here. Nevada is literally 85-95% desert.

>>2827424
This but unironically. Arizona is superior in every way. I moved here ten years ago for ASU and I love it.

>>2827103
Your state? The federal government owns like 87% of it. It's basically one interstate

I live in the southern point of Nevada, moved here from western NC a couple years ago because I live hiking at the outdoors. I literally found these petroglyphs my last hike through a canyon not even 5 miles from my house. The heat is extreme but I don’t miss getting muddy.

>>2829818
You must live in Anthem. Great petroglyph site, I'm surprised that after the decades I've lived here I never found out about it till I just happened to notice it on google maps.

>>2827424
Still more forested than the UK.

I'd love to visit the state at some point- I've thought about moving to Nevada but I'm not too keen on it since the scorpions there are venomous, unlike the ones in Georgia.

>>2827424
That was a great post. Learned something new. Thanks fren.

Scorpions are chill just don't fill your neighborhood with palm trees. Also don't go to vegas if you do end up coming out here, it is way to crowded and all the cool shit out here is literally being burned to the ground by porbably Freemasons or some other collection of cunts.
You should look more North, Ely is pretty nice, one of the smaller towns maybe like Elko or something.

>>2826666 (OP)
Hello, I am going to be moving to Nevada next week, ill be homeless in the sun vally area, i heard i can camp on the land around there with no issues for up to two weeks, can anyone elborate. Also, I am a former reno native moving back after 2 decades.

>>2831051
Thats not moving, you fucking vagrant scum, thats just drifting

Kill yourself instead

>>2831059
Umm, actually I plan on getting back on my feet. Worked for ten years, have Aspergers and sleep apnea (undiagnosedfor years) found out that an abusive relative that I stay with has been smoking crank(which explains the all-night benders and random rage fits) so I am MOVING. God Bless You.

I shoulda moved to Vegas rather than dogshit Phoenix back in 2017 still stuck here since. AZ is decent but NV has that lore and ominous feeling to it. Plan on making it my forever home.

>>2831059
Home is where the heart is, you fucking faggot.

Unironically this is a good thing. As a Nevadan, the huge swathes of BLM land are the only place I've ever been that you can disappear into and do whatever you want without anyone for miles

>>2832035
For now. They keep selling off the land to housing developers. They are planning to completely surround Mt. Charleston and build the city up to the very edges of the mountains

>>2831486
They weren't monolithic. The constitution is the result of intensive compromise.

>>2831051
I would recommend the Wetlands on the East side of town. Plenty of good places to camp, especially if you have a bike to explore past the bridge and get a good spot further away from people.
Keep an eye out for arsons though please, some dipshits keep setting the fucking place on fire and it's pissing everybody off because it's the one good place in town that isn't a complete shithole.
It does get filled with trash sometimes but still better then living downtown or in the tunnels.

>>2832087
>>2832035
So fucking crowded now. When I was a kid it was a Haven, now it it just packed, and the housing cunts just never stop. They're destroying the burrowing owl dens, assholes.
Red Pill: you can look up the BLM land sales, there is a pattern of them selling some 75Mill$ of land every ten years for funding, slowly pushing the nature out.

Bulgarianfag here, from the other side of the planet. Spent 5 months at Tahoe, Incline Village back in 2014. Thats about the best area I've ever seen and will ever see with my own eyes. I'd give everything to return and die there in peace.
I know its not the most impressive place the USA has got, but it changed my life and part of me must've remained there. I miss it so dearly.

>>2839296
Tahoe area is incredible. As is the Sierra in general. Tahoe has way to many cod/tourons which is a major drawback. You visited the wealthiest town in Tahoe so your perspective is skewed lol. but its still an amazing place.

>>2839231

There is absolutely nothing wrong with bumping old threads. It's much better than making new ones about the same topic

>>2839296

>>2839311
>Tahoe has way to many cod/tourons
Ha, true, I worked at the Hyatt there, unbelievable amount of retarded tourists. But the people who lived in the area? Couldnt be nicer. That was the time right before the US went full retard woke and everyone seemed to get along. But also no negroes in the area, so that must've added to it all.
>>2839326
Dont want to be an illegal shitter. I was there legally on a temporal visa. Nowadays is damn difficult and expensive to do that. Who knows, maybe one day.

shot my first deer in the mt moriah area, absolutely beautiful there between the craggy mountains the aspens and looking down into the desert.

It is the driest state in America, so therefore it is, in fact, the most desert-y. The main appeal of Nevada is extreme remoteness. I traveled across the state on US-50 just as the COVID panic was hitting. The brothels in Ely were closed. Spent a week in a decent motel for about $180 USD. It was a very depressing road trip through a very bleak part of America. Cold and stormy in March. The hotelkeeper was kind to me, but otherwise the sense of desolation was overwhelming. Going exploring around the town felt pointless, as there was nothing but brown lifeless desolation with some juniper trees to see. The rich greenery and plentiful wildlife of the Great Lakes region in summertime is so much more pleasant to wander around.

Sure loved taking a dip in the warm springs pool in Warm Springs on a cold, blustery March night. But looking back, brrrr. I don't miss the constant cold and bleak stormy days that are the reality of vagabonding the Intermountain West in the winter months. Still better than 100 degree sunshine with not a lick of shade, I guess. Four months I spent on the road out there, entering Texas on New Year's Day 2016 and starting work in Grand Teton National Park on May 10th.

Nevada is a hot spring lover's paradise. There are more hot springs in the state than anywhere else in America, and many of them are undeveloped. This spring boiled out of a hillside pit and flowed several hundred yards through a gravel conduit before emptying into the pool in the last picture. Temp was about 110 F.

Near Boundary Peak on the California state line.

Compare to Great Basin National Park, which is much drier than the far western parts of the state, and drier than the Colorado Rockies or Utah's high country as well.

Why not one month there, and then three months in some other region, if it was so depressing? That's plenty of time to travel anywhere. Sweet photos, thanks

>>2840305
Not an answer

>>2840236
Wait If I stop by Ely will people think i'm going for brothels?

>>2840390
>>2840258
>>2840236
The only thing you do in Ely is stop for gas. Tourists desperately want to believe they've found some sort of "local spot" that nobody knows about but Ely is a gas stop when you're going from the western or southern side of the state, to Utah, or vice versa. They also have hotels when you've given up on tenting it during hunting season. Don't overthink Ely, it's really not that complex.

>>2840394
youre mistaking ely for wells retard, youve never been to nevada

>>2840236
Do people not know how to leave their cars and walk? You can be up to verdant alpine meadows in a couple hours from Ely nearly every direction

>Yuma has entered the chat

As someone who just moved away after 30+ years living all over Nevada, I can promise it's not a great place. It is in fact mostly barren desert, with some nice scenery here and there, and some spooky stuff for people into that, but it all gets old real fast. The north of the state has some nice areas, especially around Reno/Tahoe, Elko and Carson city, but otherwise there's nothing really there, and literally every time I've been out of state I'd wish I lived there instead. Now I do thankfully live somewhere else, and I sincerely hope I never have to go back.

>>2826666 (OP)
That's because its actually just an obliterated sandhole. NM easily mogs the fuck out of it you want an interesting desert landscape, and everyone knows the real reason the government squats on the land there is to strip mine the resources whenever they show themselves

no bueno
