One of the roads taken on our trip.. It has a lot of history to it. It is desolate in some areas but has its own beauty and solitude in other regions.. Back in 1986, Life magazine referred to Nevada's portion of U.S. 50, a two-lane highway bordered mostly by sagebrush, as the "loneliest road" in America. It's reputation for loneliness is merited. In the stretch of highway between Fallon, Nevada and Delta, Utah, a span of 409 miles, there are only three major towns: Austin, Eureka and Ely. And they are sparsley populated. In all, U.S. 50 traverses nine mountain passes between Fallon and the Utah border. This gives it an elevation range between approximately 4,000 and 7,000 feet with each pass. It also follows the path of the Pony Express routes of the early 1860's...
