Things to do in Nevada Travel Guide | USA Road Trip 2017 Video Transcript:
Our trip began in Las Vegas, but having already been there before, we wasted no time on the Strip. After a short night’s rest, we grabbed a hearty breakfast, hopped in our rental car, and hit the road for our first stop of the day: Lake Mead.
Hoover Dam is one of the most visited attractions in Nevada with as many as 1 million people taking the tour every year, and even more driving across the dam.
Fun fact: there is enough concrete in Hoover Dam to build a 4 foot wide sidewalk around the Earth at the Equator. That’s a whole lot of concrete!
Kayaking in Black Canyon was the highlight of the day. We lucked out with blue skies, calm waters, and the scenery was pretty spectacular - especially once we entered the canyon.
Halfway up stream we took a break from kayaking and went on a short hike.
We also stopped at the Emerald Cave, which gets it’s name from the bright emerald green colour reflected in the water.
We had an hour’s journey to reach the Valley of Fire that morning, and it was a very leisurely drive down some scenic stretches of road. We knew we were getting closer to the park when we noticed the landscape colours started becoming more saturated.
Once we entered Valley of Fire State Park, the fun began. This park is known for its rock formations, panoramic vistas, and hiking trails, so there was no shortage of things to see and do.
Back on the road, we hit our first stop on the ET Highway: ET Fresh Jerky! This is an alien-themed shop selling everything from martian soda to alien sunglasses, so we used this as an opportunity to load up on snacks.
After stopping for photos at the ET Highway marker which is covered in stickers, we journeyed on to the Alien Research Centre, which is pretty hard to miss considering they have a giant metal alien standing guard on a hill.
Out front, we spotted a UFO-towing pick-up truck and a green alien welcoming earthlings, while inside we were surrounded by Area 51 warning signs and all sorts of alien-themed souvenirs.
And then it was time to turn around, drive back to Vegas, and fly back home,.
A surprise addition to our Nevada travel guide was visiting Red Rock Canyon, which is just a 20-minute drive from the Vegas Strip.
Our final thoughts? There are way more things to do in Nevada than just Las Vegas and we’re glad we got to experience a mix of nature and quirky attractions on this mini USA road trip!

Ecuador The Top 10 Strategies for Surviving Ecuador's Carnival
The Top 10 Strategies for Surviving Ecuador's Carnival, By Buddy Huggins
Last February, a friend and I found ourselves walking to class on a cobblestone path in Cuenca, Ecuador. It was our first day in this unfamiliar city and our spirits were high as we took in the new sights and culture. Suddenly a flash of orange flew between us and crashed at our feet, dousing our toes with a fresh spray of chilled water. We looked around baffled for any sign of a threat, but found none. There were no birds discarding their droppings, the street jugglers were not tossing buckets of water, and no, Chicken Little, the sky was not falling.
Then all of a sudden we were under rapid fire as balls of water were rocketed towards us from all directions. Gringas under attack! Cuenca was like a war zone as we scurried around the sidewalk to avoid the unpredictable land mines. This was just the preview for the next couple weeks.
We soon discovered that it was Carnival season, a celebration in Roman Catholic communities that represents the overturning of daily life. Technically, Carnival falls on the weekend or day before Lent, celebrated with parades, masquerades, and feasting before the sacrifices of Lent begin. However, just as American super stores have taken to selling holiday decorations months before the event, Carnival also makes an early appearance thanks to the diablitos -- little devils that play with water.
Over the years this highly celebrated holiday has expanded into joyous weeks of throwing bombas (water balloons), sprinting with squirt guns, dumping buckets of water off roof top balconies, spraying colored foam, and tossing fistfuls of multicolored flour on unsuspecting passersby. The street carts stock up on cans of foam and bags of water balloons while kids use their lunch breaks to dunk their friends in the river.
What does this mean for the gringo tourists? Well, basically we stand out as great targets, blond hair acting as a signal flare for the diablitos to spray foam, throw flour, and toss a refreshing burst of rubber and water to the side of your face. Thus, based on my experience I have a few pieces of advice for those of you who dare to visit Ecuador (or any Roman Catholic city) around the holidays and survive with your dignities intact:
1. Bring a spare set of clothes and bring those clothes in a waterproof bag.
