Bunkerville (Nevada)

Bunkerville is a small town in Nevada, located near the Virgin River and about 75 miles from Las Vegas. It's known for its stunning desert landscape and ties to ranching and agriculture. Bunkerville gained national attention in 2014 during the Bundy standoff, when rancher Cliven Bundy opposed federal cattle grazing fees, leading to a tense confrontation between armed supporters and federal agents. This event highlighted issues of land use, states' rights, and federal authority in the American West. Today, Bunkerville retains its rural charm and serves as a reminder of the complex relationship between local communities and federal regulations.
