Originally a trading post for California-bound travelers, Carson City is now the capital of Nevada and one of the largest cities in the state.

It’s home to family-friendly neighborhoods, top-tier schools, and historic sites, like the Kit Carson Trail, which features nearly 50 state landmarks. There’s also the Nevada State Railroad Museum and the Carson City Mint, which dates back to the late 1800s.

For outdoor enthusiasts, Carson City is less than an hour drive from Lake Tahoe and Lake Washoe. During the winter, skiing, snowshoeing, and snowmobiling are popular here, whereas during the summer, it’s all about hiking and soaking up scenic views.

Reno sits about 32 miles north of Carson City and provides further opportunities for fun and excitement.
