2 Top Fun & Free Things To Do In Reno
Reno is popularly known as a gaming town, but it is turning out to be more widely known as an outdoor paradise. In addition, staying in Kramer’s Midtown, the best and the coziest Reno NV hotel, you can take pleasure in and experience a lot of these outdoor areas that are completely free.
If you would
like to stay outdoors, visit the Truckee River for more than a few free
activities and events including tubing at the Truckee River Whitewater Park. If
you would like to stay out of the water and simply take a walk, stay on the
River Walk and check out a variety of Burning Man art and sculpture or jump on
a bike to take pleasure in the Tahoe-Pyramid Trail that runs right through
Downtown Reno.
At the time of
enjoying and experiencing these bikes or walks, you can see some of the most
beautiful parks of “The Biggest Little City of the World”. For visitors who do
not mind taking a short drive, head up the Mount Rose Highway for some snow
play or mountain hiking or visit Virginia City, which is popularly known as the
most famous mining and ghost towns of the world.
1. Virginia City
This is a
historic town in the mountains above Reno, which was once the richest city of
the world thanks to the largest gold vein ever mined, the Comstock Lode. Little
has changed since those mid-1800s days, and C Street, the main thoroughfare,
still looks much as it did decades ago. Leave your Downtown Reno Motel early in the morning to enjoy the top
sights - the old town cemetery, the Bucket of Blood Saloon, The Castle (the
only structure untouched by the fire of 1875), Fourth Ward School, Ponderosa
Saloon, and Piper’s Opera House.
The most
promising way to tour the city is to begin at the base of the hill on C Street
and work your way upward. This route even affords absolutely stunning views of
the neighboring mountains. VC is a must-see for any person who is interested in
Wild West history. Remember, although walking around VC’s streets and a lot of
events are free, however, you can even visit the shops, bars and restaurants of
the city.
2. Idlewild Park
Built in 1927,
Idlewild Park is situated just west of Downtown and right on the Truckee River.
The park features quite a lot of picnic spots, a few tennis courts, a bike
trail, a few lakes and water features and access to the river. There is a Lions
Club Park for children with a lot of fun equipment and a small train. The
Tahoe-Pyramid trail even passes right by the park where you can walk or bile
all the way up to Lake Tahoe or down to Pyramid Lake.
The park even
features a rose garden, public sculptures and the seasonal Idlewild swimming
pool. The park has plenty of parking in a lot of areas of the park and is home
to a lot of the special events taking place in the area.
