Most, if not all, of the States of the United States publish some kind of travel guide to their state. Most, like this one, are distributed free. After all, each state has a vested interest in people coming to their state to visit, because visitors bring money.

I like to look through states' travel guides even if I have no plans to visit the states. Sure, you've got to look past all of the hype within them about how "we're the most beautiful state, we have more fun things to do than any other state, blah, blah, blah," and usually commercial advertisements within them. But most of the time they're full of truly helpful information and, often, beautiful photos. And I don't have to pay a dime for it.

There's no reason for me posting a travel guide to the particular state of Nevada, other than the fact that I ran across the guide on the Web recently, as I was researching for something else.

If you can stand two more great freebies, I suggest these that I also ran across. They are both published by Nevada Magazine, which is a non-free subscription magazine that appears to be published by the State's official tourism department. One is Nevada Rides, the 2014 Motorcycle Guide. I know that there may not be many motorcyclists among MobileReaders, but I suggest this book because most, if not all of the trips can easily be adapted for automobiles. And some of them look like they would make great day trips (I love day trips) from different locations. The other freebie is the 86-page May/June 2014 Sesquincentennial Special Edition of Nevada Magazine. It's rich.

Title: Don't Fence Me In: Nevada's Official Travel & Leisure Guide.
Format(s): PDF.
Author(s): The Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs (Nevada).
Publisher: The Department of Tourism and Cultural Affairs (Nevada).
Pages: Approximately 120.
Ebook Rating/Number of Reviews (Amazon): N/A.
Price: $0.00.
Lowest Price at (or through Amazon) if available from there: N/A.
Book Description (from Governor Brian Sandoval, inside the Guide):
You are about to explore one of the most remarkable states in the nation — one that draws visitors from around the world to Las Vegas, while also holding hidden gems such as Great Basin National Park.

Nevada is a state of incomparable beauty, from Lake Tahoe — the largest alpine lake in North America — to Valley of Fire State Park, home of stunning red sandstone formations. This is a state where roadways lead to mining towns brimming with the history of the American West.

Road trips are at the heart of the Nevada experience, and I encourage you to travel our highways and byways. Inside this year’s guide, you’ll find itineraries to help plan your trip — including two that highlight Nevada’s American Indian cultural sites.
Comments: I believe this to be a legal free download, because it is offered as a free download on the state of Nevada's official travel and tourism website, on this webpage.
