California Trail Interpretive Center
History museum
👍👍 Very well done!
Free!
Stop in and learn all about the history of this Westward trail. Lots to see and do. I liked that they had several hands-on activities for small children. I also appreciate the many visuals that help modern-day folks understand what pioneering life was like in those days.

Lamoille Canyon Scenic Byway
National forest
👍👍 One of most stunningly beautiful places I have ever been. Who knew there was huge, alpine mountain range with snow capped peaks, forests, aspens for fall color, sticking up out of the desert near interstate 80 and Elko. Happened to visit during the peak of fall color. Most of the peaks are 10,000 to...

Welcome Station RV Park
RV park
👍👍 I have to say that this might have been the biggest surprise of our one year and 29th stop of our full time adventure. Wells, NV is truly in the middle of nowhere and I found myself alone for a week, without cable, WiFi, a vehicle, and one/two bar of phone signal.
It was absolutely PERFECT. Not only...

South Fork State Recreation Area

Weekends fill up starting Thursdays and most clear out by Sunday nights. Covered picnic table. Clean bathrooms and showers. W...

Thomas Canyon Campground
Campground
👍👍 This was one of my favorite campgrounds of the dozen and a half we stayed at in the last 2 months. This place has no hookups, but they had potable water and bathrooms (no showers). The creek was adorable and my boys had a great time swimming and playing in it.
The best part is how quiet and clean i...

Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge
Wildlife refuge
👍 The South Ruby Lake is beautiful! They have lots of signs up to let you know about fishing and hunting regulations which is great. The Visiters Center is closed STILL due to "public health concerns". So if you want information about the area or have questions, tough luck. Everyone else is back work...

Elko RV Park
Campground
🫤 Tent camped here for $16. Decent bathrooms and dog friendly. Walked to the river at the back of the lot and had some fun before bed. Didnt really have spots for a tent just a small patch of grass next to the bathrooms with a flood light on all night. It was just a place for sleep for the night
