Continuing across Utah and into Nevada, about the only highlight of this route is that it passes near Great Basin National Park. Beyond the mountains of the National Park, the drive seems to be a series of pass crossings (around 7000’ each) and straight line roadways until the next pass. Just before reaching the center of Nevada, we’ve stopped at Silver Sky Lodge RV park, about a mile west of Eureka, NV. With around 15 sites, this park provides a gravel parking lot and well positioned full hookups for $25/night. We parked awning to awning for more privacy and shade. Our site has one of the few plastic picnic tables and a small 4×8 “pad” of artificial turf – a nice touch on the gravel. There are a few OTA TV channels available, no park WiFi, but T-Mobile and Verizon both worked fine.
This is a no-frills park, but we’d not hesitate to stop here again on the Loneliest Road in America. Tomorrow we’ll continue west on Highway 50, with our next stop just east of Reno, NV. More from there….
