Visit the Humboldt Museum

As the halfway city between San Francisco and Salt Lake City, Winnemucca has a rich history. Most of the artifacts in the Humboldt Museum are important parts of Winnemucca and its humble beginnings, from antique cars to clothing, furniture, and valuables of different eras. One of the most prominent displays is the skeletal remains of a Colombian Mammoth found in the area. The fossil of the new ichthyosaur species, discovered in the nearby Black Rock Desert, is housed here too.

The museum property extends to St. Mary’s Episcopal Church from 1907, the Greinstein Building from the 1880s, and the Richardson-Saunders house from 1899.

The Humboldt Museum has free admission, but relies on donations from visitors. Click here to learn more.

Hike to Winnemucca Lake

Here in Humboldt County, there is over 9,000 square miles of the most spectacular scenery that the state has to offer, in addition to a wide array of recreational opportunities. The Winnemucca Mountain Trails are the best to hike in the spring and summer.

Known as a dry lake or playa, Winnemucca Lake is almost 30 miles long. Its western end is home to several boulders carved with petroglyphs within the Pyramid Lake Indian Reservation. Pyramid Lake is also an important and lively landmark of the area.

The Winnemucca Mountain trails are also beautiful to hike in the spring and early summer. Described as a 9.4 mile, moderate hike, making your way to the top and seeing the painted “M” up close in person at the top is worth it! Enjoy panoramic views of the city and Northern Nevada from this amazing vantage point as well.

The Humboldt River has been called the crookedest river in the world. The best place to see its twists and turns is at Button Point, a rest stop eight miles east of here in Winnemucca. For more about the best trails and rest stops with scenic views, click here.
