Outdoor Adventurer
Ely, Nevada has all the outdoor adventure you can handle. Surrounded by some of the most gorgeous mountains and open spaces in the west, adventure is in our culture. Pioneers, Pony Express Riders, Prospectors, and Pilgrims have been coming to White Pine County seeking the thrill of adventure and the chance of riches. All of this beauty can be accessed from your ATV/OHV, bicycle, or hiking but you have to be willing to get a little out there. Explore ghost towns and ruins like Hamilton, Belmont Mill, and the Ward Charcoal Ovens or hunt for gems at Garnet Hill. Cyclist can find exactly what they are looking for in White Pine County. Mountain bike the singletrack that hosts Fears, Tears, and Beers, the first and longest running enduro format mountain bike race in the country. Gravel riders and adventure cyclists can explore hundreds of miles of dirt roads and routes, like the Succes Loop, which always lead to somewhere memorable but it’s about the journey not the destination. Our monthly event calendar is crammed but our mountains are not. Great Basin National Park, one of the least visited national parks, is a land of extremes with the tallest peaks, the deepest caves, the oldest trees, and the southernmost glacier. If your idea of nature therapy is getting up into the mountains and exploring new diverse terrain, then White Pine County is your place.
