History of National Tourism Week
Tourism began with the idea of the Pilgrimage, originating in Eastern civilizations before spreading to Western. About 2,000 years ago, there were many pilgrimages to the early Buddhist sites, around what we currently know to be Nepal. Pilgrimages to Mecca were also a popular ritual that is still practiced to this day.
In the west, the custom of pilgrimage began to flourish from about 1660, and with the invention of different modes of transport, they followed a standard itinerary. This custom was seen as an educational opportunity and a rite of passage. This was reserved for the British nobility and wealthy landed gentry.
In the 18th century, after the invention of the railway, the Grand Tour became a popular tourist activity for upper-class students. The Grand Tour offered a journey to cultural sites in France, Germany, and Italy. Over the next few years, the tour encompassed many other European sites.
By the 19th century, journeys for health, leisure, and culture became common practice among the European middle classes and were ways for them to gain cultural capital. On these trips, people could socialize and also show their social standing. During this time, tourists got used to using guidebooks and travel companies that created itineraries. Tourism also brought about the development of art and souvenir markets, as well as transport and accommodation systems, like hotels and lodging.
From the 20th century onward, shipping lines also promoted international tourism. They encouraged tourists to take cruises and travel from the Norwegian fjords to the Caribbean. Between the World Wars, many upper-class Americans traveled by air and sea to a variety of destinations in the Caribbean and Latin America.

Vinyasa Flow Yoga
Welcome to Yoga with Maria Cannistra! I’m Maria Cannistra, and I’m thrilled to share the joy and balance of yoga with the Ely community. With over 18 years of teaching experience, my passion is helping people of all ages and backgrounds discover the power of movement, breath, and mindfulness.
🧘‍♂️ My Background
I’ve had the honor of working with students of all levels—from absolute beginners to seasoned athletes and seniors. My teaching style draws from multiple yoga traditions including Vinyasa Flow, Hatha, Yin, Ashtanga, and Ratha Yoga. I was trained in New York City in 2004 under the very humble and legendary Dharma Mittra, completing my 200-hour certification in traditional yogic teachings.
In every class, I incorporate Pranayama (breath work) and meditation, blending movement and stillness to support both physical and mental well-being. I also utilize yoga props to ensure comfort and alignment for every body and ability.
Yoga is a lifelong journey—one that continues to evolve and inspire me daily. Whether we’re practicing indoors or out under the sky, I strive to create a space that’s welcoming, accessible, and empowering. I encourage my students to challenge themselves as well as making the practice playful at the same time. Before moving to Ely, I spent several years teaching classes on the beaches and in the parks of Imperial Beach, California. Outdoor yoga still holds a special place in my heart!
🌟 Tips for a Great Practice

⏱ 4 hours after heavy food
⏱ 2 hours after a light meal
⏱ 10–15 minutes after drinking liquids
Be patient with yourself. Step by step, you’ll build balance, flexibility, strength, and inner calm.

Nevada Open Road Challenge 2025
2025-05-15 - 2025-05-18 | Ely, NV, 89301, United States
Nevada Open Road Challenge 2025
For the past three decades, driving enthusiasts from around the world have gathered on the third Sunday of May in the Nevada high desert for the one of the truly most unique automotive events. Traverse 90 to 120 miles of closed, two-lane public highway, comprised of long fast straights, sweeping corners, blind dips, even carving through a twisty canyon. The current course record stands at 219.6430 mph average speed, as recognized by the Guinness Book of World Records. The best part is, if you’ve got the nerve, a little cash, and a fast ride, you too can join them to run as fast as you can, legally, down a public highway.
This event in May is a two-way event, totaling 119.78 miles (59.89 each way), with a weekend packed full of gearhead activities, and an awards banquet after-party held in our charming, rustic mining town of Ely, Nevada. Registration packet pickup will be held in Ely, Nevada.
The Silver State Classic Challenge, Inc. is a non-profit corporation with a dedicated volunteer Board of Directors and staff who annually host the Nevada Open Road Challenge (NORC) and Silver State Classic Challenge (SSCC) Open Road Racing events on a closed section of Nevada State Highway 318, renamed by the Nevada Department of Transportation as the Silver State Classic Challenge Highway.
SSCC events are based on time, speed, and distance. Classes begin at 95 mph, and increase in 5 mph increments up through the 160 mph class, with a 170 mph, 180 mph, and an Unlimited, top speed class. Vehicles start one at a time, in one minute intervals against a GPS timing clock, and attempt to break the beam at the finish line as close as possible to their speed class target time. First, Second and Third place trophies are awarded to the Driver and Navigator/Co-driver in each class, based on most accurate elapsed time targets achieved, as measured by SSCC timing equipment. Trophies are also awarded to drivers of our companion One-Mile and Half-Mile Shootout events, both held on race weekends in conjunction with our Open Road Racing events.
All first-time SSCC participants are considered rookies, and may enter classes ranging from 95 mph up to 110 mph, determined by their vehicle capabilities and safety equipment, and each Driver and Navigator/Co-Driver’s comfort level. All rookies must also attend an SSCC rookie driver school. Those with documented Open Road Racing or other equivalent racing experience, or those who hold racing licenses from select sanctioned racing bodies, may be eligible to obtain a waiver from rookie school.
