ABOUT EXPLORE NEVADA
Meet the crew
Explore Nevada is a video series and trail-guide site that helps riders discover the state’s best off-highway destinations — and ride them responsibly. Each adventure pairs a short film with everything you need to plan the trip: directions, the best season, where to camp, what to bring and how to keep the land open for the next rider.
PRODUCER · DIRECTOR · CINEMATOGRAPHER
Mike Henderson
Mike Henderson is the filmmaker behind Explore Nevada. He founded Arborglyph, a Reno video production company, a decade ago and has spent the years since producing, shooting and editing cinematic work for brands, nonprofits and tourism organizations across Northern Nevada — with a soft spot for automotive, motorsports and off-road storytelling.
A licensed drone pilot, Mike handles the aerials, camera work and edit on every adventure. He studied English and creative writing, with a minor in earth and planetary sciences, at the University of New Mexico — which explains the mix of storytelling and geology you’ll find in our trail guides.
When he isn’t filming, Mike is mountain biking, skiing, climbing or camping with his family, the crew behind the All-Terrain Family YouTube channel he’s made for eight years. He also writes short fiction set in Nevada’s backcountry.

HOST
Harry Wagner
Harry Wagner is the host of Explore Nevada and the voice behind Harry Situations. He grew up in Northern California, between the Sierra Nevada and the coast, camping in Yosemite and riding along in the family FJ40 on trails like the Rubicon. His dad ran a four-wheel-drive shop in Yuba City in the ’80s, and Harry drove a Jeep CJ-7 through high school and college.
An Eagle Scout who spent summers working at a Sierra camp near Fordyce Creek, Harry earned a geophysics degree in Colorado and worked in the oil industry in Houston and Caracas, Venezuela — the move that sparked a lifelong love of travel. Today he works in environmental remediation, cleaning up former military sites.
Harry calls Reno home and fills his time with off-roading, photography and writing — and a garage full of project rigs, from a 1948 Jeep CJ2A to vintage Land Cruisers.

This area is really a jewel. If you have not been here, I highly recommend it.
