All Roads Lead to Adventure
Nevada's 6 Best Road Trips
It’s the most mountainous region in the Lower 48, and a road-tripper’s dream. Nevada is home to the West’s best and most uncrowded scenic highways. With six different road trips to choose from or combine, your pit-stops go beyond gas stations.
We’re talking routes filled with state parks and one national park that’s a diamond in the rough. The Great Basin Highway is a must: The least traveled of the great roads of Nevada, it has the most concentrated pocket of state parks (8 in total!), including Cathedral Gorge, home to Nevada’s only slot canyons. It’s also the road to Great Basin National Park, the crown jewel of the area, known for its crowdless trails, camping with a view, Lehman Caves, some of the darkest night skies in the U.S., nearby towns filled with character (and characters!), and the bristlecone pines—some of the oldest living things on earth.
It’s also home to Wheeler Peak, the second tallest in Nevada at 13,063 feet (yes, you can bag it!). Ready to hit the road? In Nevada, all roads lead to adventure.
