6. Elko to Jarbidge
ELKO TO JARBIDGE – 103 miles
After riding the highway for about 54 miles from Elko, the route turns east onto County Road 746. An optional advanced section over Wild Horse Mountain features elevation changes amidst primitive two-track before rejoining the main route.
At Charleston-Jarbidge Road, you’ll turn north and continue for another 28 miles to the end of the NVBDR and one of the most remote towns in the US, Jarbidge, Nevada. This final section crosses over a couple of passes that are around 8,500 feet in elevation, so you’ll have to wait for the snow to melt as this road often does not open until July 4th.
Jarbidge is also the official start of the IDBDR and has fuel and a small restaurant, two campgrounds, and a few rooms for rent. Make sure to book ahead if you get there during the busy season.
