Pony Express Territory

Open range, endless vistas, sagebrush-carpeted valleys, and picturesque mining towns – few places capture the Nevada experience as well as the Pony Express Territory.

The territory spans the center of Nevada, straddling U.S. Hwy. 50. Its name reflects the fact that U.S. Hwy. 50 parallels the historic Pony Express route, which stretched from St. Joseph, Missouri, to Sacramento, California, in the early 1860s. It’s a region with one foot firmly planted in the 19th century and the other in the 21st. Only a handful of small towns are strung along the highway, which was designated by Life Magazine as “The Loneliest Road in America. ”And perhaps it is. Motorists who get pangs of loneliness when they’re not surrounded by buildings and traffic may feel isolated. But the rest will find tranquility in the splendid solitude.Pony Express Territory is a land of untrampled natural wonders and charming mining towns that still look much as they did more than a century ago.
