4. Tonopah to Austin
TONOPAH TO AUSTIN – 178 miles
From Tonopah to the north, the scenery begins to evolve from dry desert to mountains as you move away from the western border of the state. This section is not particularly challenging as it consists of mostly wide graded roads, but offers incredible vistas as you climb up and over several mountain ranges. Take a rest in the historic town of Belmont and grab a drink or bite to eat at Dirty Dick’s Saloon.
Kingston Canyon Road just before Austin is spectacular as it climbs over aggressive alpine terrain that feels more like Colorado than something you’d expect in Nevada.
BE ADVISED: This section does not have any fuel stops between Tonopah and Austin, so be conservative on the throttle and carry extra fuel.
