Highway 50
Loneliest Road
Survival Guide!
In July 1986, Life magazine described Nevada's Highway 50 from Ely to Fernley as the "Loneliest Road in America." Life said there were no attractions or points of interest along the 287-mile stretch of road and recommended that drivers have "survival skills" to travel the route.
The Highway 50 Survival Guide is a challenge to travelers to learn for themselves about America's Loneliest Road. Take the trip across Nevada's heartland, stop in any five of the seven largest towns (Austin, Dayton, Eureka, Ely, Fallon, Fernley, and Baker) to get your Official Highway 50 Survival Guide validated and discover it for yourself.
