The first white man, to enter the land that would later become Nevada, was Fray Francisco Garces in 1776, along with another monk, set out to create a trail to the colonies which had been established along the west coast between California and Monterey. Garces established the westward trail from the Colorado River. The trail became the western part of the Old Spanish Trail which eventually helped create Santa. Further exploration by Garces attempted to establish a trail to the Mexican capitol of New Mexico he was capered by the hostilities of the Hopi Indians. Another monk, Fray Silvestre Valez de Escalante, also attempted to find a different passage between the colonies and the Spanish Empire, but was also capered by hostile Indians.

 The reason I picked this state is because it has many interesting things to offer from the fun and gambling places at Las Vegas to the mysteries surrounding area 51. Also it has many historic sites such as the Hover dam, the Grand Cayon, Las Vegas, and the Red Rocks.
