Winnemucca is the only town in Nevada named after a Native American The City of Winnemucca was named after the famous Northern Paiute Indian Chief Old Winnemucca by one of President Lincoln’s map makers. When Winnemucca was young, before the discovery of gold in California, several white prospectors came into the area of the Humboldt Sink from the Boise River country. When they first saw Winnemucca, he was wearing only one moccasin and his other foot was bare. In the Paiute dialect, “mu-cha” means moccasin and the white men referred to him as “wan-na-muccha” — or “one moccasin.” This name, part English and part Paiute, pleased Winnemucca, and he adopted it as his new name, being referred to Chief thereafter as Wan-ne-mucWinnemucca cha by his tribe. The chief spent a lot of time in the region of the town of Winnemucca, attending “fandangoes,” ritual gatherings of several hundred people. Chief Winnemucca and his daughter, Sarah, traveled across the country, bringing attention to the plight of their people. In 1880, they presented their case in Washington, D.C. A statue of Sarah Winnemucca is housed in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the United States Capitol in Washington, D.C. As a spokesperson for her people, Sarah gave The Sarah over 300 speeches to win support for them, and she Winnemucca met with President Rutherford B. Hayes and Secrestatue in Washington, D.C. tary of the Interior Carl Schurz in 1880. Her 1883 autobiography, “Life among the Piutes: Their Wrongs and Claims,” was the first book written by a Native American woman.

PROUD TRADITIONS
Most of the people who make their home in Winnemucca have their livelihood tied to the land in one form or another. Agricultural pursuits and mining for gold, silver and other precious minerals are what bring many families to our small city, and love of the rolling hills and deserts are what make many of them stay. Winnemucca is located 167 miles east of Reno and 265 miles southwest of Boise, Idaho. The city covers 5.4 square miles and has about 7,500 people. The city of Winnemucca is the seat of
Humboldt County, and, since much of the county is rural, nearly half of the population lives inside the city limits. Winnemucca sits at a geographic crossroads — Interstate 80 takes travellers east and west through Winnemucca while U.S. Highway 95 brings drivers from Oregon and Idaho into the middle of town. Jungo Road takes adventurous drivers into the heart of the Black Rock Desert. Finally, a rail line with daily Amtrak service runs parallel to many of the town’s major streets. The city is also a cultural crossroads. There is a large Basque population who speak their native language, Euskera, and practice the customs of their homeland on a daily basis. In addition, there is a large and active Hispanic population in the community. Finally, northern Nevada is enriched by the presence of several Native American tribes, one of which, the Western Band of the Western Shoshone, has a colony within the city limits of Winnemucca.

Symposium attendees have the chance to rub elbows with some of the biggest names in photography, to get tips from the professionals and to learn about making it to the photographic “big time,” — getting published. This year the Shooting The West symposium is set for April 9 - 14 at the Winnemucca Convention Center.

Gaming is the Nevada tradition
Fun to play and exciting to win! Gambling was first legalized in Nevada in 1931 to help reduce the impact of the Great Depression. As a point of interest, that fateful bill was introduced by freshman Assemblyman Phil Tobin of Winnemucca. There are many types of wagering available in Humboldt County, and depending on your mood, skill and your pocketbook, your choices vary. Below is a rundown of several different types of games available around the area, and how to get the most out of each.
Keno Easy to play, keno is one of those games that gamblers either love or hate. Many grumble that the game has a low payout percentage — the odds are that the house will make a good living off of keno players. Others love the game, because it is one of the few casino wagers that can yield big payoffs for a small investment. Pick the right numbers, and you could go home with your pockets stuffed with cash!
Craps How to play. Are you kidding? This article is far too short to teach you how to play craps. This dice-throwing game is one of the most complex to learn, but also one of the most exciting. There are many different wagering options in a craps game, as well as many different outcomes depending on the roll of the dice.
Slot machines
Sports Betting
Slots are usually the first thing visible when one enters a casino, and they’re typically a gamer’s introduction to the gambling world. Slot machines, with their blinking lights, themes and fast pace, can be among the most exciting of casino games — and they offer a chance to win huge sums of cash for a small investment. There are many different types of slot machines out there — from the traditional favorite single pay line slots to multi-line video screen slots with bonus features and a dozen or more pay lines. Check out the newest video machines with graphics, sound and video from some of your favorite movies, television shows, and sports and pop stars. Computers have brought video games into the 21st century!
A long time ‘til the outcome. With sports betting, time is on your side. As far as entertainment values go, your $10 never stretched so far! For the cost of your wager, you’ve earned two or three hours of sports entertainment, at the end of which you might take home the prize.
Video poker Video poker is the modern rage. In a small amount of space inside a casino, players can indulge in Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Jokers Wild and bonus and progressive poker action. This is a show most casinos would be hard-pressed to put on live, so the new computer video poker machines are a winner for both the house and the gamer.
Blackjack Though Blackjack originated in France, the casinos of Nevada have made it their own. Casinos each offer slight variations on the game, but the basics remain the same: The dealer places two cards before you, deals themselves one face up and one face down, and then you have a decision to make: draw or stand.

James Kinney Urban Pond
The new James Kinney Urban Pond is located off Reinhart Road between East Second Street and US Highway 95.

Later there are plans to add channel catfish and possibly yellow
perch and crappie, if available. Individuals must follow Humboldt County fishing regulations and limits, and individuals older than 12 years of age must have an active Nevada fishing license, available for purchase at local hardware stores and online at https://nevada.licensing.kalkomey.com/. The pond covers approximately one surface area and is 12–15 feet deep in some parts. The pond is lim-
ited to fishing only, meaning swimming, flotation devices or aquatic vehicles are prohibited. Leashed dogs are permitted at the pond however owners are responsible for picking up after their pets. Dogs are not allowed to swim or jump in the pond.

Other exhibits in the Visitors Center include those representing the mining and other local industries, as well as historical representations of the Great Basin. The Humboldt County Visitors Center is full of local history and information and should be on the “must-see” list for any traveler.
William Humphreys’ Big Game Collection
Buckaroo Hall of Fame The Buckaroo Hall of Fame is located inside the Joe Mackie Hall of the Winnemucca Convention Center. The display pays tribute to the cowboys who helped tame the wilds of Nevada, and includes memorabilia from several area cowpokes. Each year, a new addition is added to the fold, the display yields new insight into the lives of those who worked with cattle and horses so many decades ago. The well-displayed array of artifacts gives visitors a glimpse into the hard life that many of these range riders faced. Worn saddles, boots and spurs attest to the many hours of labor they’ve seen, while photographs of weathered faces - proud of a life well-lived - gaze back at visitors. The Buckaroo Hall of Fame is open 8 a.m. - 4 p.m. Monday - Saturday (Sundays seasonal). The exhibit is free and open to the public.
BLM Rock and Mineral Display The rock and mineral display inside the Visitors Center showcases the many types of materials that are found in the northern Nevada desert.

William Humphreys’ Big Game Collection is a display of 53 large animals collected over many years.
A look at our past — Ever wonder what became of old Winnemucca, the town where brave pioneers sought their fortune and weary cowboys hitched up their steeds after a day on the range? Just above the site where thousands of wagon trains forded the Humboldt River on the long trek to California, sits the Humboldt Museum. Remains from the Ice Age of 13,000 years ago, wonderful beaded and quilled regalia from an American Indian collection, vintage automobiles, keepsakes from Winnemucca’s “art nuveau” period, and a bottling scene from the early days are among the treasures awaiting your visit. The museum campus consists of four structures—the 1907 Former St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, wherein Humboldt Museum first opened in 1977; the 1880’s Greinstein Building, a former store/hide tannery; the 1899 Richardson-Saunders House, an Eastlake Style home once located on Railroad Street; and a modern two-story brick building containing the bulk of the museum’s collection and exhibits. Together, the buildings house the story of the community. Inside the museum, every artifact at the museum comes with two supplements — a story, and someone who loves telling it. The staff of the museum will gladly take you back in time with an introduction to the treasures of Humboldt County’s history. Humboldt Museum is located adjacent to Pioneer Park at 175 Museum Way, and is open Wednesday - Friday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.; Saturdays 10 a.m. - 4 p.m.; closed Sunday - Tuesday. Admission is free, and donations are accepted. For more information visit them online at www.humboldtmuseum.org.
The Humboldt Museum is a don’t-miss destination when visiting this area. From fossil bones to historic documents, county treasures and rich local lore, there’s a wealth of history here!

Basque Festival comes to Winnemucca in June The Basques are a people like no other. Their homeland is the Pyrenees Mountains between Spain and France, but their language and culture are unique. More than a century ago, a handful of Basque sheep herders settled in Winnemucca and Humboldt County. Thanks to those pioneers and their descendants, the rich Basque heritage is inextricably woven into our local culture. Winnemucca Basque restaurants serve up Basque cuisine with a combination of savory flavors, complete with a hearty infusion of garlic. Paella (a rice dish with chicken, seafood, vegetables, and spices)
and chorizo (a spicy sausage) are as familiar to Winnemucca as burgers and fries. For the true Basque dining experience, you can eat family style, sitting at a long table and sharing food and stories with other restaurant patrons. This event will feature the Winnemucca Irrintzi Basque Dancers with their traditional dances, authentic Basque cuisine, professional wood choppers, weightlifting exhibitions, and fun and games for the entire family. This is an event you do not want to miss out on! For event updates please visit the Euskaldunak Danak Bat Facebook page or www. nabasque.org

Day Rodeo. Belt buckles are a little brighter; cash prizes are a little bigger. The first formal competition began in 1921 when 14 of the county’s cowpunchers, fresh off the range, were hosted by the Winnemucca Volunteer Fire Department at makeshift locations all over town. From steer roping to bulldogging, bronc riding and horse racing, the festivities presented a lot of good-natured fun. That fairly humble beginning was touted by locals as the First Annual Nevada Rodeo and editorials in the Humboldt Star hailed Winnemucca as the Rodeo City of Nevada. The entire weekend continues to be a highlight year after year. Photo by Debbie Origer

There’s always a rodeo in the heart of Cowboy Country! The heart of Cowboy Country is Winnemucca, so it’s only to be expected that much of the year’s entertainment is dedicated to the interplay of man, horse and cow. Winnemucca does it up big, hosting some of the best rodeos in the west! Great riding, roping and steer wrestling talent is always on hand to take on equally talented bucking livestock at the annual Tri-County Fair and Stampede. Equine events continue throughout the year as Humboldt County hosts competitions for working cowboys, high school rodeo, barrel racers, and more big roping events than you can shake a stick at.

Ranch Hand Rodeos take the West by storm The American cowboy has been a worldwide icon since the early 1800s and the values, traditions, heritage and cowboy code are still alive and well, even today. There are ranch cowboys still out there calving, branding, gathering and doctoring, whether full time or part time. Northern Nevada celebrates this tradition with three huge Ranch Hand Rodeos. The first, the Winnemucca Ranch Hand Rodeo weekend, features not only competitive events for ranch teams, but a cowdog trials, working cowhorse competition, as well as a barrel race. The event also boasts one of the largest Western Trade Shows this area sees all year. Over the Fourth of July weekend, the border town of McDermitt gets into the action with their own Ranch Hand Rodeo. The Western States Ranch Rodeo Association has come together to promote and preserve the heritage of the cowboy tradition through sanctioned ranch rodeo events designed for the full and part time ranch cowboy. The WSRRA is dedicated to providing a showcase for the full and part time cowboy to compete in WSRRA sanctioned ranch rodeo events — and all qualifying teams and individual event contestants gather to compete at the WSRRA finals in Winnemucca in late October and early November. For information about the WSRRA, visit their official website, www.wsrra.org.

Mining influences yesterday and today While it may not be apparent from a fast glance from the freeway, there’s hardly a hillside in this area that has not been explored for mining. This area is rich in silver (we are the “Silver State” after all) as well as gold, copper, industrial mineral, precious stones and other ores. Today, you won’t find miners tugging burros along a trail anymore — now mining is high-tech and huge. Enormous shovels and trucks carry tons of ore to processing facilities, where the microscopic minerals are removed. If you’d like to take a tour of a mine, Newmont Mining Corp. offers tours Above, the Tungsten Concentrating Plant was once high on the side of Winnemucca Mountain.

The northern Nevada back country offers freedom to anyone who enjoys being able to pitch a tent, hike or bike the hills, fish the streams, pursue quality big game or pit themselves against the rugged terrain that supports the ultimate upland game bird, the chukar. Springtime arrays of wild flowers will delight photographers, and the scenic vistas they capture on film will leave a lasting memory of the area’s beauty. Beauty and nature are as near to town as Water Canyon, just a few minutes’ drive into the Sonoma Mountains. This is a great place to picnic, hike or mountain bike. A longer excursion, but every bit worth the drive, is a ride north to Hinkey Summit in the gorgeous Santa Rosas. From May to mid-June, the vast panoramas of Hinkey Summit are awe-inspiring. On your way back to Winnemucca, stop and visit the picturesque town of Paradise Valley. Just a short visit and you’ll know why it got its name. Like to fish? Humboldt County boasts some amazing high country trout water. Check out our reservoirs, streams and creeks. If you’re the exploring type, there are numerous old mining ghost towns hidden, almost gone, throughout the area. If you like the outdoors you’ll never be bored in and around Winnemucca!

Paradise Valley photo by Ashley Buckingham
Paradise Valley is a day-trip treasure just north of Winnemucca Paradise Valley is one of Nevada’s best-kept secrets, tucked between mountain ranges and surrounded by ranches. It’s a place where someone can kick up their feet, enjoy the scenery and do just about anything stress-free. Paradise Valley is about 40 miles north of Winnemucca on U.S. Highway 95. Unlike the craziness of a big city, where everyone is
hurrying to get somewhere, the town lacks noise and chaos. It’s the kind of place that can be summed up as having a fire station, a church, a post office, a park and a school. Most of Paradise is ranches; along State Route 290, cattle graze everywhere in large fields — and sometimes in people’s yards. Further into town, you can visit an old cemetery and old buildings that existed during the mining years. But the real draw of Paradise is the great outdoors — and in the spring and summer, the place to take in nature’s beauty is Hinkey Summit, a popular spot for fishing and camping, which turns yellow with flowers once a year; it’s definitely a beautiful sight to see. Small streams and a large creek — Cottonwood Creek — run throughout the town and local ranches, and can be great for fishing. Paradise Valley is a great place to get away and relax. Hunters, crafters, photographers, nature lovers or those looking for a piece of Nevada’s past will be glad they discovered this part of hidden Nevada.

Aspen trees, some carved with old markings, are a welcome sight in Water Canyon Photos by Jen Anderson
Water Canyon is close to town, but a world away! Rising almost 2000 feet in sea level above the town of Winnemucca, Water Canyon is one of the premier recreation areas in Northern Nevada. Managed by the local branch of the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) this area offers sites for overnight camping, picnics, hiking, biking and even limited ATV use, all at no charge to visitors. The BLM has installed campfire rings, grills, trails, shelters and information kiosks all in an effort to improve one of Winnemucca’s closest recreational opportunities. Plans are even being made this year by a local environmental education group, the Nevada Outdoor School, to install an interpretive trail which will allow visitors to take a self-guided tour learning about the local flora and fauna and the canyon’s importance in local history and cultural significance to many different groups in the Winnemucca area. Water Canyon is located southeast of Winnemucca and can be reached in a ten minute drive from the center of town. Take Hanson Street from Winnemucca Boulevard, the town’s main street. Hanson Street eventually becomes Water Canyon Road. Continue straight at the stop sign and after a mile or so of dirt road you will see the sign for Water Canyon Recreation Area. Upper parts of the Canyon are closed in winter and roads in the canyon may be hazardous when icy. It’s proximity to such a great town and the resources that it offers make Water Canyon one of the top things to do in Northern Nevada. Winnemucca Visitor’s Guide 2019 | www.winnemucca.com 31
Mountain bike on several groomed trails No matter what type of two-wheeled adventure you’re looking for, the hills and deserts around Winnemucca offer exciting terrain. Nearly every weekend during the warmer months, riders take to the trails to eat a little Nevada dust. The “Bloody Shins Trail,” a 12-mile trail that begins right on the edge of town, is a good place to start. This rolling single track course is divided into beginner and expert grades (the last five miles range from intermediate to expert level) and offers endless views of the distant mountain ranges. In addition to the Bloody Shins Trail, the Sonoma Mountains (the range to the East
The “Bloody Shins Trail,” a single-track course located east of Winnemucca, offers beginning riders a 12-mile course. The trail is fairly easy and climbs in elevation from 4,570 feet to 4,820. Intermediate riders are invited to try their skills on the 12-mile track, a slightly more difficult course which rises 1,000 feet. Both courses are open March November.
of Winnemucca) offers old pack routes, cow trails, and Jeep trails crisscrossing the sagebrush strewn flanks of the hills. The Sonomas also excel for back country excursions, whether accessed by bicycle, motorbike, horseback or hiking. Several of the deep V-shaped canyons offer spring-fed creeks and pleasant camping experiences.
Mountain bike on Winnemucca Mountain
Get one of the best views in northern Nevada when you bike (or hike) to the top of Winnemucca Mountain. The Winnemucca Mountain Bike Hike Trail is accessed from Sage Heights (just off US Hwy. 95). Choose the 1 mile or 3.5 mile loops up the side of the mountain — or if you’re feeling strong take the 6 mile ride to the summit. For more information visit www.winnemuccabikeshop. com or stop by Bikes & More in downtown Winnemucca.

Find miles of tracks and roads for offroad adventure! Not everyone prefers to travel within the confines of a car — and astride a horse isn’t always the best way to spend a day in the desert. Sometimes, you just gotta take the bikes or ATVs out and eat some dust. Humboldt County has hundreds of miles of back roads that are ready for you to ride. Most motorcycle enthusiasts begin their desert trek accessing trails behind Winnemucca Mountain (the big hill west of town with the “W” on it), or by driving their trucks and trailers up Water Canyon Road and parking at one of the campgrounds there. A second good jumping-off point for motorcycles and ATVs is Sand Pass Road, located just 11 miles north of Winnemucca on U.S. Highway 95. This road travels almost due east into the desert, and affords some awesome views, as well as a terrific ride! The Sonomas are excellent for back-country excursions, and are frequently accessed by riders both on motorcycle and mountain bike. Other options for riding include the Santa Rosa Mountains, above Paradise Valley; the Sand Dunes and Sand Pass Road north of Winnemucca and the Jungo area west of Winnemucca.
Winnemucca Sand Dunes are acres of fun The Winnemucca sand dunes, located just a few miles north of the city, offer ATV enthusiasts, campers and folks who just like to dip their toes in the sand ample opportunities for enjoyment! The large, drifting dunes are a favorite with area ATV riders, who love the gently rolling hills and expansive landscapes. If you go, remember to pack plenty of water, sunscreen and maybe a jacket – sands can pack quite a sting! The Winnemucca sand dunes are easy to find, just hit US Hwy. 95 heading north from Winnemucca. The dunes are on the left (West) side about 8 miles out of town.
