Local Tips
Winnemucca's Basque heritage is celebrated at several authentic Basque restaurants serving family-style dinners. The Winnemucca Convention Center hosts the National Basque Festival, and the Santa Rosa Range's Humboldt National Forest provides hiking and camping east of town.
The Fair
Winnemucca is home to the Humboldt County Fair, which celebrates a northern Nevada county where cattle ranching, gold mining, and the Basque immigrant heritage define a community along the Humboldt River — Winnemucca is famous for its Basque restaurants, rodeos, and as a crossroads on I-80 between Salt Lake City and Reno.
