If you’ve got a thing for history and architecture, you’ll be amazed by the beautiful and historical beehive-shaped charcoal ovens sitting in a row at Ward Charcoal Ovens State Historic Park. And, please, don’t give up on this place if staring at 150-year-old ovens isn’t your thing. This 160-acre park is also representative of a typical Great-Basin Landscape, with an incredible diversity of plant and animals, including sagebrush, pinyon pine, juniper, elk, deer, mountain lion, bobcat, and coyote. Hiking trails criss-cross the park, which covers elevations ranging from 7,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level. You’re also close to off-road trails that can connect you to thousands of miles of federal land. There’s a pretty little campground onsite, and a stream for cooling off when when the heat of summer scorches Nevada's desert landscape.
