How to safely visit ghost towns in Carson City, Nevada

I invite you to get out and enjoy our rich heritage.  Please take only photographs and leave only footprints so we can preserve our historical resources.   

Ghost towns and historic sites are protected under federal and state law. Removing or damaging artifacts is illegal. Sites are monitored by volunteers and trail cams working with local and federal authorities. Removing anything, even a square-headed nail, is a crime. Please preserve our heritage so it will be here for future generations.

Tread Lightly offers online training and programs relating to protecting our backroads.

Don’t create new routes or expand existing trails. Avoid sensitive habitats like wetlands, meadows, and tundra. Cross streams only at fords where the road or trail intersects the stream. Respect and be considerate of other users so that all can enjoy a quality experience in the outdoors.
