I take it from your post that you're a low/no hour PPL. So far, so good, we all were at some stage. BUT: be aware that Nevada can be, shall we say, challenging. Depending on time of year, you'll have to contend with hot/high situations, lots of empty desert devoid of landmarks and loads of mil areas. Winds out there can be fiendish. Also check the Grand Canyon airspace/ NOTAMs, there are some severe restrictions in place. Don't want to put you off, just be aware of what lies in store. Have a great flight, wherever you go.
