Nevada road trips & hidden gems.

The stops worth changing a travel day for in Nevada — crowd-voted gems, events worth traveling for, and the public golf you can actually book. Curated by Roamward, the scenic road-trip planner.

F1 Las Vegas Grand Prix

November 19 - 21, 2026 · Las Vegas Strip Circuit, Las Vegas, Nevada

Barely two dozen marquee events hit the whole country in a year — and Nevada has one this November. Roamward builds the trip around it: the scenic route in, the detours worth a slack day, and when rooms sell out.

International Car Forest of the Last Church

Forty-plus junked cars planted nose-down in the high desert and covered in ever-changing graffiti, a few minutes off Highway 95 in Goldfield — free and open around the clock.

Cathedral Gorge State Park

A maze of soft golden clay spires and slot-canyon "cathedrals" you can squeeze into, tucked near Panaca in the quiet southeast corner, open 24/7 year-round.

Spencer Hot Springs

Geothermal "cowboy tubs" sitting out on open BLM land near Austin along the Lonely Highway 50, free to soak with nothing but sagebrush and sky around you — time it for sunset.

Lehman Caves

A jewel-box limestone cave dripping with rare shield formations, deep in Great Basin National Park near the Utah line — Nevada's least-crowded park, with dark-sky country above.

Clown Motel

A working motel and free lobby museum stuffed with over 6,000 clowns, sitting right beside Tonopah's old pioneer cemetery on Highway 95 — stop in to gawk even if you won't stay the night.

Goldwell Open Air Museum

On the edge of the Rhyolite ghost town near Beatty, seven huge ghostly sculptures rise straight out of the Mojave, including a shrouded ghost-cloth Last Supper — free and open around the clock.
