The remote corner of Clark County known as Gold Butte remained unknown to most Nevadans until a recently proposed congressional act brought it unusual attention. The long-ignored region lying south of Mesquite, east of the Virgin River and the Overton arm of Lake Mead and west of the Arizona border, may gain recognition and protection under the Gold Butte National Conservation Area Act, HR 7132.
White Pine County’s annual Fire and Ice Show on Jan. 17-18 promises winter visitors two nights of fireworks, two days of competitive ice sculpting and opportunities for activities possible only where the snow is deep and the ice is thick. The event earned recognition with its recent listing as one of the Top 100 Events in North America by the American Bus Association for 2008 and 2009.
