3. Beatty to Tonopah

BEATTY TO TONOPAH – 142 miles

There are very few places in America that have the character of the old mining town of Gold Point. Belly up for a sarsaparilla and wander around the relics that scatter the old town. There is primitive camping available in the desert and a few small cabins available for rent in Gold Point.

Section 3 has lots of big-open desert riding with the exception of an exhausting but fun section of sand whoops north of Gold Point. You’ll earn your rest at fantastic stops along the way, including the bizarre car art near Goldfield—it’s truly a must see. Tonopah offers plenty of lodging opportunities and is the halfway point of the NVBDR.
