Pyramid Lake Scenic Byway
Anaho Island, NV

Located in Pyramid Lake, Anaho Island is one of the only pelican nesting sites in North America. This National Wildlife Refuge was established in 1913 by President Woodrow Wilson. It is now maintained by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Although it seems like this would be the perfect bird watching site, these birds need their privacy and visitors are not allowed within 500 feet of the island. Make sure to bring your binoculars if you want to watch the pelicans.
