The “h” sounds in Nevada
make it sound so exotic –
Neh-vah-dah – ice and desert
overlapping halfway between Reno
and Vegas in Tonopah, burying
the silver mines in snow.
Glory-Be-Project Day 7

Nevada is mostly desert, but the name means "snow" or "snowcapped," referring to the Sierra Nevada mountain range.

Tonopah was the site of the second largest silver strike in the state.
