As a child, I remember being overly excited every time I saw a rainbow. Even as an adult, I’m still overly excited. The only difference now is that I know there’s no way to reach the very end of it. (And yes, I believed a leprechaun was at the end of every rainbow with a pot of gold. In all honesty though, what child doesn’t believe that?)

Rainbows show the natural and rare beauty of the world, and they’re such a wonderful sight to behold. Listed below are 10 amazing rainbows that were captured right here in Nevada.
