Old Southwest Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

This picturesque River Walk features beautiful flowers that adorn the walking bridge. It is surrounded by a dense wooded area that's framed by the peaks of the Truckee River's mountain range. 
#LifeAtExpedia
Another Burning Man sculpture that has found a permanent home along the banks of the Truckee River in downtown Reno’s art district.
Great food & Service. Lots of variety on the menu - definitely worth the wait!!
