WELCOME
T
his is an exciting time for Carson City. Nearly every weekend is packed with community events — encompassing live music and car shows, as
well as bike events and outdoor festivals. At the same time, the arts and culture scene is bursting into action. Carson City boasts a vibrant downtown featuring a variety of restaurants and an array of local stores offering everything from bicycles and knickknacks to handcrafted jewelry and antiques. Within the city limits is an impressive network of paved and unpaved trails to take advantage of our clean air and open space. Rich in heritage, this is a community with a charm showcased by four museums and historic sites all within a walk or a drive of each other. The tree-lined west side and the turn-of-the-century homes along the Blue Line Trail tell the stories of past residents, some who contributed greatly to American history. A newly renovated downtown is more pedestrian and bike friendly. Streetside parking makes it easy to attend events year-round. But of all the things that make Carson City great, what really makes it stand out are the people who live and work here. They are the ones who will make your visit here an exceptional experience. We’ve featured some of them in this guide. Meet local artists, cyclists and volunteers who all work together to make this community a place you’d want to visit. For a full list of sites to see and places to visit while you’re in town, check out our Visit Carson City app on your mobile device or go to visitcarsoncity.com. Sincerely,

elissa Melero-Moose draws on her roots growing up as a Paiute on the Reno-Sparks Indian Colony for her work as a mixed-medium painter. But her work is not a relic of days past. “I would describe myself as a contemporary Native American artist inspired by the Great Basin,” she said. “It’s my interpretation

of landscape, which can end up looking somewhat abstract.” While making a living as an artist can be difficult in any genre, Melero-Moose said she — and other artists like her – found roadblocks particular to her style. “There weren’t any venues in this area to show our work,” she said. “The opportunities never really came up.”
So, collaborating with local artist Ben Aleck, Pyramid Lake Paiute and previous director of the Pyramid Lake Museum, they created their own opportunities. After co-curating the “Under One Sky” exhibit at the Nevada State Museum in 2001 and the 2012 Nevada Museum of Art exhibit, “The Way We Live” in Reno, they created the Great Basin
Native Artists in 2014 to promote artists in the region. The group is featured in a show on display at the Carson City Visitors Bureau, 716 N. Carson St. “This exhibition allows the Carson City Visitors Bureau to become an informational and cultural venue — the first stop for tourists to see the contemporary impact our own residents and
neighbors have on today’s art scene,” said Mark Salinas, the city’s arts and culture coordinator. “It’s an exciting opportunity to see how Native tribes translate their traditions and heritage into contemporary works.” Aleck, a professionally trained artist who has traveled much of the country, is now looking closer to home for inspiration. “I’m reaching back to my roots,” said Aleck, who now lives at Pyramid Lake after retiring as an educator in Reno. “Where I’m at now, I want to use my art to do Great Basin images.” Aleck weaves traditional arts into his contemporary images.
“I hope people who see my work are inspired to live a better life and maybe make a better world.” — TOPAH SPOONHUNTER Top Photos: Artist Topah Spoonhunter of Big Pine, Calif., draws on ideas passed down through tribal culture to inspire a broad audience.

Art CULTURE
“I use willow to frame out some of the work I’m doing,” he said. “That comes directly from the basket weavers. It’s really soothing to go out to gather it. It’s a whole process to make sure it’s done right — when to gather it, how to clean it.” He said his art reflects mostly environmental and cultural issues, all reflecting the central theme he’s learned through his life of travel and meeting new people. “I see things differently because of that,” he said. “I’ve learned that when it comes down to it, we’re all human beings.” Topah Spoonhunter, 34, grew up on the Big Pine Paiute Reservation in California where he still lives and creates his work. Although inspired by his Paiute and Arapaho heritage, his artwork is intended for a broader audience. “The ideas passed down through tribal culture, I think a lot of people might dismiss as primitive,” he said. “But in my experience there’s a lot of knowledge that’s useful today. The spirit of my work can apply to anybody.” The more their artwork is seen, Melero-Moose said, the more people will begin to understand its nuances and complexity. “Native American art has a certain stereotype,” Melero-Moose said. “People think of geometrics with baskets and Southwestern art.” However, the stereotype isn’t practical. “There are more than 500 tribes in the United States and each tribe has its own aesthetic,” she said. “The Great Basin Native Artists showcases our region specifically.”

Her work and the work of the group, she said, serves to broaden the definition of Native American artwork to extend beyond the traditional arts and crafts. “I grew up with a lot of artists in and around my family,” Melero-Moose said. “They were bead workers and regalia makers. They were inspiring all the same, I just use a different medium.” The group is open to artists of all mediums including visual arts, performing arts, literary arts, digital and video arts, arts and crafts, photography, sculpture, beadwork and basketry. “When you see them together you see how related they are as far as design,” Melero-Moose said. “It’s exciting to see.” Spoonhunter said he feels a calling to use his art as a way to promote his culture to serve humanity. “My parents always did what they could to help people and make things better,” he said. “It’s something they instilled in me. It’s my obligation to make things better, and it’s something I do with my work. “I hope people who see my work are inspired to live a better life and maybe make a better world.” Native American artist Ben Aleck's piece, “Chanupa," meaning, "The Pipe,” sits in a stack of art in his studio in Reno, Nev.

auricio Sandoval hopes that when people see his mural on a wall on Telegraph Street, it makes them
feel good. “The main thing about my art is to make people feel happy — or what I call good medicine,” Sandoval said. “It’s more of a home feeling.” Mark Salinas, Carson City’s arts and culture coordinator, said he’s hoping the trend of creating outdoor murals as part of public art continues. “This mural shows the dynamic potential of how local artists, businesses and landlords could work together with the city to build a vibrant cultural landscape,” Salinas said. “I look forward to developing relationships within these organizations to showcase talent and opportunity.”

Growing up mostly on the Stewart Indian Colony, Sandoval began drawing at a young age. Later, he added painting to his repertoire and is now focusing on airbrushing. While he started out doing a lot of Native artwork, he said, he has evolved to include other inspirations as well. “I’m mostly focused on nature art,” he explained. “I would like to get into more of the local cultures of the area, including more of the history of Nevada.” Much of his work has been done for family and friends, but word of mouth has traveled. When John Rutledge saw Sandoval’s work, he knew it should be showcased on a larger scale. Rutledge commissioned Sandoval to paint a mural on the outside wall of one of the buildings he owns, which houses the Champagne Beauty Bar.
"The downtown needs more life and vibrancy,” Rutledge said. “It needs a better energy. In keeping with the downtown corridor remodel, we are creating a more vibrant atmosphere down here.” The mural features a bare tree silhouetted against a desert sunset. “It’s a Washoe Valley feel,” Sandoval said. “It’s like you are standing in front of the tree overlooking the valley.” Rutledge said the painting also evokes a familiar feeling for him. “It seems to capture the windiness of our area,” he said. “It’s bright and colorful. I’m happy with it.” Sandoval, who lives in Carson City with his wife, Elizabeth, and daughter, Veronica, is hoping to create more murals in the area.

Nature photographer Larry Burton shoots near Silver Saddle Ranch in Carson City.
Shooting the wilds of Nevada By Teri Vance
N
ot quite fitting in at school where he grew up in the farming community of Sutter, Calif., Larry Burton often retreated to the nearby Sierra Buttes. “I ended up running around those buttes all my growing up years,” he said. “It became my little sanctuary.” That penchant for finding reprieve and beauty in the solitude of the outdoors pointed him to his first occupation with Fish and Wildlife, and

provided the backdrop for his current career as a photographer documenting some of Nevada’s wildest places. “It’s such an incredible experience to me,” he said. “You have to wait for this quiet moment, and then you see it. That’s what keeps me coming back.” After graduating high school a year early in 1974, Burton went to work for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service at the Big Pine Fish Hatchery in the
Owens Valley near Bishop, Calif. “That was a blessed existence,” he said. He’d started taking pictures in high school and bought his first serious camera, a 35 mm SLR Nikon, in 1980. He read a couple of books, but lived too far from any college to take classes. “The learning curve was tough, but I struggled through it a couple of years,” he explained. Serendipity shined on him when he found a camera bag full of lenses and commercial camera

bodies. Unable to find contact information, he took out an ad in the paper and tracked down the owner, Sharon Collins. In her gratitude, Collins hooked Burton up with some workshops at the University of San Francisco. Luck continued to turn in his favor when wildlife photographer Arthur Richards stopped by the hatchery looking for advice on where to find elk. “I told him, I get off at 4,” Burton recalled. “By 4:30, I had him in the middle of 30-40 elk. He was just jumping up and down. I realized then I had a special skill set because I knew the area so well.” The two formed a partnership where Burton showed him around the backcountry, and Richards tutored Burton in technique. “He became a good mentor,” Burton said. “We shot together for a year and a half, and that’s when I started getting the good stuff.” In 1988, he transferred to the Gallagher Fish Hatchery in Ruby Valley, a ranching community about 60 miles from Elko. Nevada was already a second home to Burton who had spent a lot of time in the state as a child visiting his mom’s Yerington hometown. “Most people can picture living on a ranch,” he explained. “It’s exactly like living on a ranch, but instead of cattle, it’s fish. You have to feed them every day. You can’t put them out to pasture, it’s 24/7 stand-by duty.” He continued shooting on evenings and weekends, getting published on regional phone book covers and winning local awards. After 20 years in Ruby Valley, he retired in early 2009 with the goal of becoming a full-time photographer. Initially, he intended to base his business off of the same model as hunting guides where he would take photographers into the wilderness to shoot landscapes and wildlife. However, the structure has evolved mostly into doing contract work — shooting stock images for Indian Country and rural communities along Interstate 80 known as the Cowboy Corridor — and giving workshops and clinics, including a presentation at the recent tourism convention Rural Roundup in Elko. His tells participants they don’t need the best equipment, but they do need to be thoughtful about the images they’re making. “I learned how to do it when you had to pay 50 cents a print,” he said. “That’s a lot when
“I learned how to do it when you had to pay 50 cents a print. That’s a lot when you’re a working stiff.

you’re a working stiff. I still want to make the best image I can out of my camera. It’s not hard, but it takes a minute.” Burton, who has one son, Lloyd, has lived in Carson City with his girlfriend Terry Sumner for the past five years. He finds plenty to photograph on his daily walks, but continues to travel the state. “Part of the reason I get these bids is because I know the state so well,” he said. “I put 20,000 miles on my truck every year, and 90 percent of that is in Nevada.” The best part, he said, is sharing his images with people who otherwise wouldn’t get to see the places he’s been. On second thought, he concludes, all of it is the best part. “I have been blessed right down the pipe,” Burton said. “I loved my work on the fish hatcheries. I’ve lived in some of the best places in the West. I’ve got no complaints. It’s all been a good ride. Even with the backaches and pains, I go to bed with a smile on my face most nights.” Follow Larry Burton on Facebook to see his images. Contact him for clinics at fishtek@ live.com or (775) 389-9573. Larry Burton’s history with U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service gives him the background to find Nevada’s hidden treasures.

20. Edwards House (1883) 204 North Minnesota St. Thomas J. Edwards built this house in 1883. Erroneous accounts suggested Edwards constructed the house with
state prison labor, and was forced to resign his office as county clerk. The story about the use of prison labor is a very popular legend; evidence clearly shows there was no scandal associated with the construction of the home.

brewery was established in Carson City by John Wagner & Company in 1860 during the rush to Virginia City.
The Carson Brewery specialized in steam beer, a bottom-fermenting brew produced without the constant cold temperatures that true

Volunteers key to building, maintaining trails By Teri Vance
Muscle Powered volunteers work on a section of the Ash to Kings Canyon Trail to repair damage caused by heavy snowfall, and rain. Bottom: Muscle Powered volunteer Larry Marinel works on a section of trail in the hills of west Carson City.
J
ohanna Foster, an ecologist and adjunct biology professor at Western Nevada College, moved to Carson City a year ago. The first organization she joined was Muscle Powered. She believes in Muscle Powered’s mission to create more walkable and bikeable community. “I love being outdoors and hiking, just being around nature,” she said. “Human beings need to be connected to open space. People will protect the environment if they understand it. They’re interested in protecting what they know.” 20
Foster recently joined the group on an outing to repair the Ash to Kings Canyon Trail in the mountains west of town. “This is such a treasure we have in Carson City,” Foster said. “In 15 minutes from town, you’re walking in the wilds.” The 7-mile trail will be the centerpiece of this year’s Carson City Off-Road mountain bike race as the trails around Lake Tahoe are still covered in snow. Crew leader Oliver Lieder said the race, part of the Epic Rides series, is a testament to the work volunteers
2017 • VISITCARSONCITY.COM
have done to create and maintain the three-year-old trail. “I think it’s surreal and exciting at the same time,” Lieder said. “It’s really cool they chose this area for the race, it wouldn’t be here without the trail, I don’t think.” Volunteer crews have been working to repair the trail after damage caused by heavy snowfall and rain this winter. “A mudslide put about three feet of mud on the trail,” said Jeff Potter, who initiated the building the trail and organizes volunteers. “The water kept running, creating a channel
which undercut below and gave way. That’s not fun for riders.” Potter said they expect to have 2,000 trips on the trail during the race. Muscle Powered is working with Epic Rides to get signs printed and installed to warn riders of upcoming turns. “You come into these turns hot and you’re concerned about your time,” Potter said.” If you don’t know they’re coming, you’re going to have some skid turns.” Epic Rides is helping Muscle Powered maintain area trails with the Hail the Trail fundraiser, raffling off three mountain bikes. The proceeds from the raffle will benefit trailbuilding organizations — including Muscle Powered — in the three communities that host races for Epic Rides. “Single-track trails don't just appear as if by magic,” said Randy Gaa, Muscle Powered secretary. “There are years of planning, permitting, and back-breaking work that go into building a trail system. When an organization like Epic Rides offers to help out with financial support, it's always a big deal, helping move a lot of the process forward so that the entire community can enjoy the outdoors.” Lieder, who met Potter while out on the trails in Carson City, has joined Potter in the effort to build the trail since they broke ground in 2012. He said his motivations are similar to Potter’s. “I wanted to be out on the trails that were close to my home, “ Lieder said. “Jeff’s vision for this has been wonderful.” Dave Johnson, a physical therapist, feels a sense of duty to help with the building and upkeep of the trails. “I use these trails three to four days a week,” he said. “It’s pure altruism.” Although the work can be strenuous, Potter said, it is always worth it, especially this spring as pine needles are scattered across the trail and an array of wildflowers are in bloom. “Man, this is cool,” he said. “It’s really neat seeing that type of life happening.” Learn more about Muscle Powered at musclepowered.org.

“Beer geeks are beer geeks,” said Kyle Horvath, marketing director for the Carson City Visitors Bureau. “You get a sense of what a community is about through its local breweries. It showcases the ingredients available in the region, the flavors, the smells and the personality of the community.”
With a focus on organic, sustainable and local ingredients, Adele’s offers a varied menu of fresh seafood, steaks, pasta and much more.
There are several options in Carson City when it comes to finding a cool place to relax and enjoy a brew. The Shoe Tree Brewing Company, 1496 Old Hot Springs Road, is owned by brothers Jeff and Paul Young, who share a passion for home brewing. It offers a variety of flavors, including a vanilla cream ale and coffee stout. The Shoe Tree Root Beer is brewed with sassafras bark, sarsaparilla, licorice root and vanilla. While you’re there, grab something to eat at the Sassafras Eclectic Food Joint next door or go for a swim at the Carson Hot Springs.

You can hike the hills and run down. It’s a good chance to come out and get feet on the trail without worrying about time.” Not only does Maldonado promote the race, he promotes running in Carson City in general. “This is the mecca for outdoors, without a doubt,” he said. “The sunrises here are the best.

Cycling twins set sight on second Carson City Off-Road By Teri Vance

allory and Molly Otto, both 18, were new to mountain biking last year when the Carson City Off-Road came to town. “We decided to just try it out,” Molly said. “We did the 15-mile course, and it was a struggle for us. Mal and I like to downhill, and this had a lot of uphill.” As high school athletes — playing soccer at Carson High School all four years, three at the varsity level — the girls said mountain biking brings its own set

of endurance requirements. “Even though we were in shape, it’s a different kind of shape,” Mallory said. “You don’t normally use your legs going in circles and circles. Truthfully, we had to walk parts of it.” Now, with an additional year of experience under their handlebars, the girls are much more confident going into this year’s Carson City Off-Road on June 16-18. The race, sponsored by Epic Rides, offers 15-, 35- and 50-mile courses. While relatively new to

mountain biking, the Ottos have a strong cycling background. The twins were 5 years old the first time they visited a BMX track. “That first day was so hard,” Molly recalled. “We couldn’t even get up that first hill.” They solved that problem with the same approach they’ve taken to mountain biking. “We just kept going and going,” Mallory said. The two competed regularly and were likely to become pros when they were faced with a decision
“You always have a friend.” — MALLORY OTTO between BMX and playing soccer. With their final soccer season over, they are now free to spend more time cycling when not in school or at work. And they know they always have a riding a buddy — and photographer. “You always have a friend,” Mallory said. “And if we want to just mess around, she’ll be the picture taker and and I’ll ride. Then we’ll switch.” This year’s unusually wet winter and spring, along with early nights, has not
deterred them. “It’s still fun to ride in the rain,” Mallory explained. “One of the funnest parts is
bringing lights, and you just ride like a regular day.”
The weather has influenced the race itself, however. Because the trails in the higher elevation are still covered in snow, the course has been altered to become varying numbers of laps mostly on the Ash to Kings Canyon trail.
While they are better prepared this year, the Ottos are still planning to compete in the 15-mile race this year to accommodate their boyfriends who will be riding for the first time this year. The girls, who both plan to attend Western Nevada College after graduation, are setting their sights on professional downhill mountain biking racing. In the meantime, they’re making their peace with the climbing. “You’ve got to get downhill somehow,” Molly explained. “After you go uphill, you feel really rewarded, then you get rewarded again by getting to go downhill.” Still, they’re not completely convinced. “We kind of cheat sometimes and have our dad drive us up the uphill part,” Mallory said.
