Winnemucca WELCOME TO SCENIC
NEVADA
The heart of Humboldt County and the hub of the West Welcome to Winnemucca! Nevadans are proud of their wideopen spaces, beautiful mountain and valley vistas and fascinating history, but sharing these things with visitors makes us even prouder. Here in Winnemucca, you’ll find a little bit of everything, from off-road adventures and western cowboy fun to unique museums and shopping. Hiking and biking trails snake through the surrounding mountains and the untamed terrain is perfect for an ATV excursion or camping trip. I highly recommend dinner at one of the local eateries, including a fine family-style Basque restaurant, where visitors can

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 Lin coln’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, “mucha” means moccasin and the white men referred to him as “wanna-muc-cha” — or “one moccasin.” This name, part English and part Paiute, pleased Winnemucca, and he adopted it as his new name, being Chief Winnemucca referred to thereafter as Wan-ne-muc-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 Washing ton, D.C. A statue of Sarah Winnemucca is housed in the National Statuary Hall Collection in the United States Capi tol in Washington, D.C. The Sarah As a spokesperson for her people, Sarah Winnemucca gave over 300 speeches to win support for statue in Washington, D.C. them, and she met with President Rutherford B. Hayes and Secretary 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. 4 Winnemucca Visitor’s Guide 2016 | www.winnemucca.com

William Humphreys’ Big Game Collection
Buckaroo Hall of Fame The Buckaroo Hall of Fame is located inside the East 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 weath ered faces - proud of a life welllived - gaze back at visitors.

Find miles of tracks and roads for outdoor fun!
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 des ert. 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 camp grounds there. A second good jumping-off point for motor cycles 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 Moun tains, above Paradise Valley; the Sand Dunes and Sand Pass Road north of Winnemucca and the Jungo area west of Winnemucca.

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 fami lies 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

Heavy equipment pairs with high-tech processes in the modern gold mining industry. 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 travel lers 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.

The Humboldt Museum is located adjacent to Pioneer Park on the northwest side of Winnemucca. It’s a great place to visit to learn more about the history of Winnemucca and Humboldt County.
The Humboldt Museum can truly boast a “mammoth” display! Castings of bones found in the Black Rock Desert now have a permanent home on the second story of the museum. Visitors can take a step back in time and imagine a landscape populated by these enormous beasts. ——— Below, these wooden indians were originally used by local casinos for promotions. Now they’re indoors at the museum, and restorations are planned.
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? Those days live on at the Humboldt Museum, along with the Great Depression, the Roaring Twenties, and even the Ice Age. The museum offers a compendium of area history through its many artifacts. Visitors can see a turn-of-the-century parlor, early model horseless carriages, a set of bones from a local mammoth, and much more. The collection encompasses all of Humboldt County, with artifacts from Paradise Valley, rural areas, and Winnemucca. The museum itself is a piece of old Winnemucca. Built in 1907, it was a downtown church — until it was picked up and hauled across the Humboldt River to its present site, at Jungo Road and Maple Avenue. A second, larger building was added on when the museum’s col lection outgrew its humble home. Also on the museum grounds is the Cumley- Richardson House, currently undergoing restoration, a historic store and the newest addition — a 1950’s bus that formerly belonged to the Humboldt Hotel. 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. The Humboldt Museum is located adjacent to Pioneer Park at 175 Museum Lane, and is open Wednesday - Friday 9 a.m. - 4 p.m.; Satur days 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. Winnemucca Visitor’s Guide 2016 | www.winnemucca.com 9

Enjoy mountain biking on several groomed trails
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. No matter what type of two-wheeled adven ture you’re looking for, the hills and deserts around Winnemucca offer exciting terrain. Nearly every week end 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 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).

Champion fish, record game and premium fishing Winnemucca: Home to the Elusive Chukar If you love bird hunt ing, then you should know this area is synony mous with good upland game hunting. Northern Nevada claims legend ary status as the “Chukar Capital of the Country.” There are a few reasons why. Long seasons and liberal bag limits make for more hunter rec reation days than any other upland game bird. Plus, only the Great Basin can duplicate the original chukar habitat of India, Pakistan and Afghanistan, the birds’ native countries. Only here will you find the steep, rugged canyons with talus slopes and rocky outcrops that provide a perfect hide out for the birds. That makes a difference when it’s nearing sunset and you’ve already bagged your limit of six. That’s not to say the experience isn’t a humbling one. Cecil Hawkins says, “The chukar has bagged more hunters than hunters have bagged chukar. Always remember that.” Still, there will always be a next time.

Ranch Hand Rodeos take the West by storm The American cowboy has been a worldwide icon since the early 1800s and the values, tradi tions, 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.

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 excit ing. There are many different wagering options in a craps game, as well as many different outcomes depending on the roll of the dice.
Sports Betting A long time ‘til the outcome. With sports betting, time is on your side. As far as entertain ment 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. Wagering on sporting events actively involves you in the game, since once your bet is placed you have some real interest in the outcome of the game.

Shooting the West XXVIII: The Nevada Photography Experience April 25 - May 1, 2016 There’s a very special gathering that happens each spring in Winnemucca. A group of the finest photographers in the west come to the heart of Cowboy Country to learn more about the art of snap ping the shutter. Shooting the West is a photography symposium with distinguished presenters in many different photographic fields. Throw in workshops, participant shows, juried contests, vendors like Manfrotto and Epson, port folio reviews, great Basque food and lots of Winnemucca style fun… and you have a pretty good idea what it’s all about. 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 pub lished. This year the Shooting The West symposium is set for April 25 - May 1, 2016 at the Winnemucca Convention Center. For more infor mation about joining 2016’s Shooting the West XXVIII, contact Shoot ing the West at (877) 623-3501, by mail at P O Box 1766, Winnemucca, NV 89446 or visit them on-line at www.shootingthewest.org

Celebrate the Basque heritage with us! The Basques are a people like no other. Their home land is the Pyrenees Moun tains between Spain and France, but their language and culture are unique. More than a century ago, a handful of Basque sheep herders settled in Winnemuc ca and Humboldt County. Thanks to those pioneers and their descendants, the rich Basque heritage is inex tricably woven into our local Humboldt Sun Photo culture. There is one Basque restaurant in Winnemucca: The Martin Hotel, serving 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 year, the Basque Festival will be held June 11-12, 2016. It is a glorious celebration of all things Basque — the Irrintzi dancers don their colorful costumes, traditional Pyr enees music fills the air, and the people of Winnemucca — whether of Basque heritage or ‘Basque for a day’ — turn out for a lively parade.

In today’s fast paced environment it is rare that one can go to a sporting event of any kind and see and feel the camaraderie and the friendliness that is apparent at a ranch rodeo. This is one event you don’t want to miss, as cowhands from around the west gather in Winnemucca to compete for cash and glory!
