# Exploring The Wild West in Northern Nevada *By James Hills, menwhoblog.com — Updated June 2024* Written by: [James Hills](https://menwhoblog.com/james-hills.html) Last Updated: 22 June 2024 Evergreen BlogHits: 10198Reading time: 01:26 Unlike some trips where we stay put in a single destination, this was a bit of a road trip through Northern Nevada. From Reno, we headed south to Carson Valley and then on to the mining boom town of Virginia City before heading back to Reno. From ranches to silver mines and the opportunity to judge the famous Virginia City "Rocky Mountain Oyster Fry" aka the Testicle Festival and then a visit to the famous National Automobile Museum, this was an action-packed adventure that we highly recommend guys explore on their own as well. ## Bloggers on Our Wild West in Northern Nevada Trip Include: We'll be adding links to articles and videos produced by each of the guys, so stay tuned for more! ### ManTripping: [Atlantis Casino Resort in Reno Nevada](https://www.mantripping.com/mancation-blog/atlantis-casino-resort-reno-nevada.html) [Carson Valley Inn & Casino - Perfect Guys Weekend Basecamp](https://www.mantripping.com/mancation-blog/carson-valley-inn-casino.html) [Craft Beer & Whiskey Plus Artisanal Cheese & Meats at the Pink House](https://www.mantripping.com/food-and-drink/the-pink-house-genoa-nevada.html) [Guys Will Love to Eat, Drink and Do These Things in Carson Valley ](https://www.mantripping.com/mancation-blog/things-guys-will-love-in-carson-valley-nevada.html)   ### The Traveling Fool: [The National Automobile Museum in Reno Nevada](https://thetravellingfool.com/the-national-automobile-museum-reno-nevada/) [Why Visit Carson Valley Nevada](https://thetravellingfool.com/why-visit-carson-valley-nevada/) [So, What Do Rocky Mountain Oysters Taste Like?](https://thetravellingfool.com/so-what-do-rocky-mountain-oysters-taste-like/)   ### Rick On The Rocks: [I'm Nuts About The Rocky Mountain Oyster Fry ](https://www.rickontherocks.com/im-nuts-about-the-rocky-mountain-oyster-fry/)   ### Days Of a Domestic Dad: [Rocky Mountain Oyster Festival in Virginia City, NV](https://daysofadomesticdad.com/rocky-mountain-oysters-festival-virginia-city-nv/) [Minden Tahoe Air Show Preview](https://daysofadomesticdad.com/minden-tahoe-air-show/)   ### Bourbon Blog: > Car fans ...National Automobile Museum in Reno @NatlAutoMuseum @travelnevada #menwhoblog https://t.co/ljx6Kkqx6c > — BourbonBlog.com (@bourbonblog) March 18, 2018 > First tweet in #VirginiaCity was by Pony Express #MenWhoBlog @VirginiaCity https://t.co/DIieUL1cjp > — BourbonBlog.com (@bourbonblog) March 18, 2018 > Mountainous morning view from historic Gold Hill Hotel in #VirginaCity Nevada #MenWhoBlog @virginiacity https://t.co/SmMONjgEnm > — BourbonBlog.com (@bourbonblog) March 18, 2018 Book Your Next Cruise With Heather at Flow Voyages!
