White Pine County Can Wait

While the White Pine County community is reeling from business impacts due to COVID-19, our thoughts extend to our visitors who have supported our tourism economy. With great gratitude and understanding for everyone’s wish to be in the fresh mountain air, now is NOT the time to visit Ely, Nevada or the surrounding communities.

White Pine County’s healthcare system is excellent, but limited. While there have been NO confirmed cases, the consequences of COVID-19 for our small town would be overwhelming.

For right now, please support Ely businesses remotely. Rebook lodging for a later date. Reach out to businesses you’ve enjoyed in the past. Send an email, post a photo, leave an online review and tag words of encouragement. Consider making donations, buying gift cards, asking for credit versus refunds, paying for an online class, ordering books and sports gear online from our local shops. Cash flow is crucial for us right now. If you can afford it, reconsider canceling reservations. If you are here, several restaurants, sports shops and grocery stores are offering deliveries, curbside pickup, etc. But again, now is not the time to visit. Some restaurants, retail shops, and lodging establishments are CLOSED.  The museums and train are CLOSED. We are facing difficult decisions and will need the support of our local and tourism families.

Please engage with Visit Ely Nevada on social media as we seek to keep you informed, hopeful and advised on what’s going on in White Pine. #VisitElyNevada #RideElyNV #GetElevated.

     Over the coming weeks, we will share photos, videos, stories and travel inspiration to keep you entertained and hopeful when boundless days are here again. White Pine County will be ready to welcome you when you are ready to travel. We’ll see you soon.  Our mountains, lakes, forests, and trails will be here to welcome you back.
