We could take interstate highways to get where we want to go. But we like Highway 50 across Nevada, billed as “The Loneliest Road in America”. We like it so much we decided to get on Highway 50 at our first opportunity at Salina in the middle of Utah and follow it all the way to the other side of Nevada. So today we traveled a backroad on our way to the backroad.
Along the way, we stopped by Great Basin National Park in Nevada. Been meaning to do this for maybe 20 years. It was a good idea to check it out. This place is glorious!
We didn’t stay and camp here. Too cold at night for us at 10,000 feet with no hookups. But if we had stayed, this would have been our campsite.
From the highest viewpoint, it looked like this.
We stopped for the night in Ely.
