The Canyon
  You've been driving across Nevada all this time and you've seen a few canyons but you really haven't been down deep inside one. Now's your opportunity. NV-227 goes to the Ruby Mountain Scenic area and the Thomas Canyon.
  To get there from I-80, take exit 301 and head south on NV-225 (passing by the airport) to the end of 225 at Hwy-535. Turn left and drive to 5th Street. Turn right (this is NV-227) and follow it, through Spring Creek.

(continued from column 1)

  On the far side of Spring Creek you'll pass Rabbit Ears Road and Broken Arrow Lane (both on your right) and then meet the junction of Forest Road 660 (1 mile beyond Broken Arrow Lane). Turn right and follow the forest road (it is an excellent road), passing the Thomas Canyon Forest Camp and, a little further on, the Guard Station to the end of the road. There is a wide loop so, even if you are pulling a trailer, you can turn around.
  These canyon walls average about 2,000 feet above the canyon floor. The end of the road is about 32 miles from I-80. If you're in for a small hike, there is a nice trail leading from the loop at the end of the road to Lamoille Lake - it is an uphill climb (about 1,000 feet above the loop) but we enjoyed it. You'll pass a couple small lakes on a small shelf overlooking the canyon (about 1 mile) and Lamoille Lake is another half mile.
  Yes, Nevada is so beautiful!
