Located near Nevada’s eastern end of U.S. Highway 50, “The Loneliest Road in America,” lies Ely, the largest city in White Pine County. Originally a stagecoach station, Ely boomed with copper mining in the early 1900’s. Today, the city offers breathtaking views of forested mountains, snowy peaks, and antique buildings. People from around the world arrive daily to ride the historic trains pulled by century old steam engines at the Northern Nevada Railway Museum. | Spirit of Nevada
