  • The Conaway Ranch in Rainbow Canyon
    The Conaway Ranch in Rainbow Canyon Rainbow Canyon Rainbow Canyon is named for its spectacular rainbow colored rock walls. Meadow Valley Wash, a year-round spring fed stream, waters thousands of trees along its banks as it flows through the canyon. Ancient Man inhabited the canyon and artifacts recovered from caves carbon date their occupation to 5,000 years ago. In the 1860s, settlers established ranches in the canyon to supply beef, fruit and vegetables to the surrounding mining towns. The Conaway Ranch The history of the Property dates back to the 1860s when the Conaway Ranch was one of the first cattle ranches in the region. It was a favorite place of writer Zane Grey, who enjoyed staying at the ranch while he was writing about the wild west. Howard Hughes, Summa Corporation, owned the Conaway Ranch in the 1970s. He intended to develop a destination resort on the ranch. In the 1980s a developer drilled water wells, built a community sanitation system and leach field, and built a 9-hole golf course on the ranch. The golf course is grown over with natural cover, but pressure pumps and some underground infrastructure remain. A domestic well and the community leach field served several homes and golf club facilities during the years that the golf course operated, and currently serves two existing homes on the golf course.

South of the town of Alamo, the run-off from White 50 River flows into an idyllic, pastoral, 50 acre lake. 6 This lake is called Upper Pahranagat Lake and is just over 2 miles long and a half mile wide. It is encircled with beautiful shade trees, brush and grasses. The surrounding land is designated as a National Wildlife Preserve and the area has become a permanent home for birds such as duck, geese, quail, blue herons, and many varieties of smaller birds. Migrating birds include swans and pelicans 19 that pass through in winter and spring. The overflow from the Upper Pahranagat Lake is carried downstream about 4 miles to Lower Pahranagat Lake.

  • Lincoln County
    Lincoln County Driving Tours and Walking Tours of Alamo, Caliente, Panaca and Pioche Early History Eastern Nevada was home to Native Americans for thousands of years before European exploration. The early Basketmakers and later Fremont people lived in the lush valleys, where they grew crops of corn, beans and squash, and lived in permanent “pueblos.” The more nomadic Southern Paiute appeared in the area around 900 A.D., building no permanent dwellings, but moved with the seasons to hunt and gather nuts, berries, seeds and roots. The Fremont people disappeared by 1200 A.D., reducing the competition with the Paiutes for the same game species which at one time included bison. In 1863, Missionary William Hamblin was scouting new areas for settlement, and while he was in Meadow Valley, a Paiute Indian showed him some rocks which he called “panagari” or “panacker”. In March of 1864, Hamblin brought some men with him and established claims on the “panacker ledge,” which was located eight or ten miles north of the valley itself. A specimen of the silver ore was sent to Salt Lake City, and the area was deemed worthy of more exploration. J.N. Vandermark and Stephen Sherwood undertook the first expedition, "Guns were the only law and Pioche made and along with Hamblin they organized the Meadow Valley Mining Bodie, Tombstone and other better known District in April, 1864. In May, 1864, Francis Lee and six other families towns pale in comparison. It’s been said that moved from Santa Clara, Utah, to Meadow Valley, where they seventy-five men were killed in gunfights established an agricultural settlement that they called Panaca.
