Old wooden grave fencing around family plots, beautiful old wooden grave markers....this is the real deal of the wild west and the comstock load years of a hundred years ago. Park your car, enter the gate on foot and walk around. So very interesting. Founded in 1851, this is one of the oldest constantly maintained cemeteries in the State of Nevada. The trail to the Mother Lode passed directly in front and the wagon tracks can still be seen with careful observation. James Finney (Ole Virginie) after whom Virginia City is named is buried here. The known names are primarily Italian as this ethnic group has predominated down through Dayton's early history. Recognizing the potential of the land and the irrigating value of the Carson River, the Italians made this area the breadbasket for the Comstock. State Historical Marker No: 233

Many of the dates on the stones are quite close together - Living in the west in the 1800s did not contribute to extended life expectancies. The majority of people buried here were miners in the Comstock Lode and their family members. Headstones date back to the 1880s. There are technically eleven cemeteries here that were established by Catholics, Masons and other religious* and fraternal groups. Over time, they've sort of merged and are now known as the Silver Terrace Cemeteries. Back in the day, it was once described as the "loveliest burial grounds in the State of Nevada" but times have changed and decay has been rampant. The ground is extremely uneven. It's sandy, rocky and not level. There is a lot of overgrowth and broken cement. There are paths to walk along but you need to be on the lookout for wildlife. I would not recommend open toed shoes and consider boots if possible. It is not handicapped accessible.

I have used the Truckee Riverwalk a lot over the years…read more But I didn't realize that the Riverwalk overlaps some with the Tahoe Pyramid Trail in the downtown area. The 6 1/2 mile Reno section of the trail is dotted with mileage markers, directional signs and other information boards. Also flat yellow numbered discs to help emergency personnel find you. The entire Reno section of the trail is paved and well maintained. Bicyclists, joggers and dog walkers all share the trail, so be aware slower traffic to the right and try not to block the trail. This section is also fairly level. It starts along the Truckee at Kietzke, and continues to follow the river to Verdi. Where it becomes a different section of the trail. In the summer this is a great area to walk as the river usually makes the temperature a little cooler. There several parks and areas to park along the way. As the weather warms up, get out and enjoy the beautiful outdoors. There's lots of fabulous nature to see along the trail.

Another one of my favorite winter hikes is the trail from Floriston towards Farad. It's a winter wonderland!

This is such a cool, little known place that I'm almost hesitant to review it…read more Yesterday, I was showing Reno's cemetery's to a friend. It turns out there are several of these not far from my old SW neighborhood. I've been driving by this location on Stoker for more than 25 years, yet have never gone inside. Yes, it's a cemetery. But it's so much more. Whether or not you care for the Masons (I don't particularly), you've got to admire the effort and money they've put into the grounds of this place. Most headstones are flat, but there are a number of older, Victorian era crypts here. It would be a perfect location for filming a horror movie. There must be 30 crypts, mostly situated around the edges of the cemetery. When driving in, you climb a steep hill that hides the expansive grounds until you summit and are greeted by an huge expanse of park-like grounds that go for acres and acres. I'd estimate there are at least 8 or 9 acres that continue across the sunken freeway. You cross above the freeway on a somewhat scary, narrow bridge that I'd guess is used as a shortcut by bike riders. On the North side of the freeway, a number of homes back up to these grounds, so far unpaved and undeveloped. With our diet programs in full swing, Krista and I have been looking for out of the way idyllic spots to take walks when the weather is better. This is it! There are perhaps 10 named and paved streets that you can drive around, so we drove the entire cemetery at about 15 miles per hour, because, you know me, I want to be sure the place is safe, or else I'll need to get a concealed weapons permit. Safe, safe, safe, though I'd rather go here with a buddy than alone because NO ONE IS HERE! Unless you count dead people, and I'm not one of those who can, or want to, talk to them. I'd guesstimate that we could walk for 3 or 4 miles easily by taking a circuitous route. And, the gate is wide open to the public, so apparently one and all are welcome. I'm Jazzed!
