This photo is of Pyramid Lake, Nevada, which was the naturally occurring sink of the Truckee River Basin in Reno, Nevada near Lake Tahoe.
As you might have assumed, this lake is extremely salty, and if you were to take a dip in it, you wouldn’t like the taste of the water.
Whirling Horse
Another member of the famous Buffalo Bill’s Wild West Show was Whirling Horse. All the Native Americans on the show were called “show indians.”
In one of their shows, they would usually reenact historical battles, and perform some of their native dances for their audience. It’s nice to find out about their culture, you know?
Timothy O’ Sullivan's Self Portrait
This is a picture of Timothy O’ Sullivan himself. Now we are starting to wonder who took this photo of him.
Actually, he became a civil war photographer after becoming part of the war himself. After the Civil War ended, O’Sullivan set out to explore the Western landscape and embarked on a long cross-continental expedition.
Gold Hill, Nevada
Here’s another nice nature photo. This one is of the Gold Hill, Nevada, which is located just south of Virginia City.
It became a famous place for mining of the Comstock Lode. It was once a mining city, but now it only has a total of 191 inhabitants. It's almost a ghost town.
Colorado Browns Park
This photo is of the Colorado Browns Park, which was located on the Utah Colorado Border. It was originally called Brown’s Hole. This isolated mountain valley contains Flaming Gorge Dam and ends at Dinosaur National Monument.
Historically, it has been a safe haven for many outlaws like Butch Cassidy and Tom Horn.
