Just a Few Reviews by Amazon Buyers
Review 1
A leisurely drive across Nevada becomes far more enjoyable with this guide. It encourages slowing down, visiting small towns, chatting with locals, picnicking in parks, learning about silver mining, and appreciating the night sky. A helpful resource for turning a simple crossing into an exploration.

Review 5
I live in western Nevada and have had the opportunity to travel this road many times on my exploration of the state. This book is the best one you will find that goes into great detail about the geology, history, and sights along Highway 50. It is very professionally done and goes into great detail. It is fascinating to read even if you have not traveled it. I had the unique opportunity last year to do this trip on a bicycle over a period of a week. That really allows you to see things you would miss in a car. Many people want to drive through Nevada as quickly as possible to get to California or other destinations. That is too bad because they miss a lot of interesting western history. Nevada is the state with the largest number of mountain ranges in the United States. When you travel east or west across the state, you have to go over them. These large changes in elevation give rise to the wide diversity of plants and animals associated with these zones. All you have to do is go off the main roads down some of the valleys and you will find many old ghost towns. . . There are still many ranchers living in these valleys. It takes a certain kind of person to make a go of it under these remote conditions. This book is a great guide to what is available along Highway 50 and I cannot recommend it enough.
