Great Basin National Park
Great Basin is the only national park entirely within Nevada. It is on the other side of the state from Reno / Tahoe, but well worth visiting. It is a marvelous place, with lofty alpine peaks, bristlecone pines, abundant wildlife, and the underground beauty of Lehman Caves.
