Scenic route
The Loneliest Road (US-50)
Dubbed "the Loneliest Road in America," US-50 across Nevada runs basin-and-range through ghost towns, sand dunes, and pony-express stations with almost no one else around.
Why drive it
Big-empty Nevada, basin and range.
The emptiness is the point — dark skies, free desert hot springs, petroglyphs, and a near-empty highway that ends at Nevada’s least-visited national park.
