Downtown Sparks

Looking west on B Street in downtown Sparks, from the intersection with Pyramid Way. The prominent sign points drivers to the Pyramid Lake Dude Ranch, 31 miles away in Sutcliffe. In the distance to the right are some downtown buildings.

Source Caption: A sign for the historic Pyramid Lake Dude Ranch stands proudly in Downtown Sparks, near what was once the Southern Pacific rail yard’s main entrance—today, it’s the bustling intersection of Pyramid Way and Victorian Avenue. This iconic dude ranch was renowned in the early 20th century as a “divorce ranch,” welcoming guests who temporarily relocated to Nevada to take advantage of its quick residency and divorce laws.
