More ways to explore the area's outdoor wonders
Step onto Main Street and the town exhales history: boardwalks creak underfoot, storefront facades wear flaking paint like old badges, and a brass plaque or two dares you to remember the men and women who lived loud here. The app starts near Mr. Wu's outside old Chinatown and guides you past the saloon chair where Wild Bill sat, to the Bullock Hotel, Adams House Museum, and up to Mount Moriah Cemetery where gravestones keep stubborn watch.
