The best museums Côte Ouest Etats-Unis

The Giant Forest Museum is an interesting introduction to the peculiarities of these fascinating giants and the history of this forest. The museum is the starting point for self-guided interpretive trails to Round Meadow and Hazelwood, where you can enjoy a life-size visit. They have been rebuilt with boardwalks and bridges in difficult areas to enable visitors to enjoy the meadow and sequoias without damaging the ecosystem and natural drainage systems.

Opened in 2023, the Agua Caliente Cultural Plaza was named in tribute to the Agua Caliente people, the first inhabitants of the area. The facility houses a museum divided into five areas dedicated to the tribe's history and the flora and fauna native to the Indian Canyons. The other part houses a spa, built on the natural mineral hot spring that occupied the area before Palm Springs was built. Information and reservations here: www.thespaatseche.com.

There are also Indian ruins and petroglyphs to visit in the vicinity (Grimes Point, Hidden Cave). Fallon has a dozen motels and well-equipped campsites for campers.

By leaving Fallon, check that you did the full, because the next service station is 100 km, and the next city 178 km. Desert! Now we understand what his solitude means. Contrary to what is happening in the developed and tourist deserts, such as Death Valley, you are desperately alone. The landscape is pure, almost untouched by any domestication attempt. There are few vehicles crossing your road from time to time, sometimes large mobile homes, towing a mpv vehicle: they are American (often retired) tourists across the United States.

Sections devoted to anthropology (Indian crafts), botany (cactus collections), wild fauna (stuffed animals), and the geology of Nevada.

Mr. Liberace was one of the greatest music-hall artists in the United States, a real star in Las Vegas. The museum exhibits its very eccentric collections: his cars, his furs, his pianos, his diamonds. Interesting.
