Where Can You Find Hot Springs, Donuts, & The State's Oldest Bar !?

On today's episode we explore the Genoa Valley in between Gardnerville and Caron City, NV. David Wally's Hot Springs is a resort hotel and timeshare now operated by Holiday Inn. We stayed for tow nights for a cost of ~$179 per night along with a $25 resort fee for the use of the springs.

On the second morning we went to Kim's Donuts in Gardnerville for a treat. I could do a whole episode just on this pink donut shop!

Kim's is rated 4.3 stars on Yelp https://www.yelp.com/biz/kims-donut-g...

David Wallys History
Like many Nevada hot springs, the ones located as Walley’s Hot Springs dot a fault break along which the mountains rise.

In 1862, along this Carson branch of the emigrant trail, David and Harriet Walley developed a $100,000 spa eleven beds, a ballroom, and gardens. The thermal water (l36 to 160 degrees F) became well known as a cure for “rheumatism and scrofulous afflictions.”

Walley’s Hot Springs sold for a mere $5,000 in 1896, but operated until 1935 when it burned down. Its formal cool cellar was integrated into the complex during a 1970s renovation.

In 1962, trial hydrothermal power holes were drilled here as deep as 1,250 feet and found thermal water with a maximum temperature of 181 degrees

I'm looking forward to delivering more great reviews and adventures from around the world. Make sure to give us a follow!
