Save the scenic routes for the spacious and gorgeous landscapes of the Nevada Silver Trails. To find your way here, take the major thoroughfares to give yourself as much time to enjoy Nevada Silver Trails as possible.
From northern Nevada and northern California and western Oregon, you can take U.S. 95 south into Nevada Silver Trails and begin exploring the great boating and fishing on Walker Lake and work your way to Hawthorne, a gateway to Yosemite National Park and many nearby ghost towns.
From Central Nevada, eastern Oregon and western Idaho, enter Nevada Silver Trails through State Route 376, and discover Round Mountain, one of the world’s major producers of refined gold, and find your way to Tonopah, with its rich roots in mining.
From Utah and eastern Idaho, you can reach Nevada Silver Trails through U.S. 6 or U.S. 93. U.S. 6 winds toward Tonopah, or you can take The Extraterrestrial Highway and look for unexplainable cosmic sights and sounds in the small town of Rachel. If you’re coming in from U.S. 93, don’t miss the majestic and amazing geological formations of Cathedral Gorge State Park. Continue to Caliente and its 14 surrounding wilderness areas and the Silver State ATV Trail.
Southern California has several entry points into the breathtaking Nevada Silver Trails. You can take U.S. 6 east into Tonopah, and head south on U.S. 95 to Goldfield, which once was Nevada’s largest city and attracted would-be miners. Plenty of historic buildings remain there, and journeying farther south, you’ll discover Rhyolite, home to the Goldwell Open Air Museum, Beatty and the beautiful Amargosa Valley.
From Arizona and Southern Nevada, take U.S. 93 north toward the The Extra Terrestrial Highway, or head over to Caliente and Cathedral Gorge State Park. Or take U.S. 95 and explore Amargosa Valley, Beatty, Goldfield, Tonopah and beyond!
No matter which way you choose to get there, once you explore Nevada Silver Trails – you’re in for the journey of a lifetime.
