Escape to the High Desert in Elko County, Nevada!
Elko County, in northeast Nevada, brings the drama of the high desert into vivid reality with its unspoiled nature, breathtaking vistas of the ruggedly beautiful Ruby Mountains, and its rich western history.
This scenic parcel is located about five miles west of the Utah state line and four miles east of Murdock Mountain. Route 233 (Montello Road) is about ½ mile to the east.
There are no shortages of activities to enjoy: trips up Lamoille Canyon, boating or bird-watching at the Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge, down-and-dirty ATVing, out-of-this-world heli-skiing, rock climbing, mountain biking, hunting, fishing, backpacking, or hiking the rocky trails.
The city of Elko, the county seat, is known as “Nevada with Altitude”. It is bordered by the towering, snow-capped Ruby Mountains, often called the Alps of Nevada, and the lush, glacier-carved Lamoille Canyon. The Ruby Mountains are flush with wildlife, mountain scenery, lakes, streams, and valleys.
Elko is where Nevada’s real cowboys work and play, and the Wild West spirit is contagious. Elko is ranked as one of the Top True Western Towns, but the events in Elko go beyond its western roots. Every July is the annual National Basque Festival, a nod to the rich Basque history and culture that brought sheepherding to the area.
Today, visitors to Elko can explore Nevada’s roots in mining, ranching, and native culture with a stop at the Northeastern Nevada Museum, Western Folklife Center ,or the Sherman Station Visitor’s Center. Don’t’ forget to take a tour to see firsthand one of the area’s many gold rush ghost towns.
