Epsiode 305: Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge

Wild Nevada is a travel-destination series that explores the interior of Nevada. Each program is filmed over two days. Hosts Chris Orr and Dave Santina begin their trip at starting point and travel to their destination. Along the way, they take short side trips to investigate points of interest and unique landmarks.

Season 3 Episode 5 | 26m 46s | CC

This trip takes host Dave Santina and frequent guest Alvin McLane north to the Sheldon National Wildlife Refuge. The refuge covers over 570,000 acres of Nevada and acts as home to a variety of species. Stretching across most of the northwestern corner of the state, Sheldon attracts lovers of wildlife, hunters, and, since the early 20th Century, opal miners.
