Bruce H Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Looks like summer will take a brake this weekend for the western part of Oregon so I thought I'd head south east. Anyone live near Elko that can tell me about the roads? I was wanting to ride from Denio, the map shows a road east that intersects just north of Elko. Not sure if it is paved or not? I was thinnking about going thru Ohwyee then into Idaho a bit. My map shows a short senic section just south of Ohywee, can it be?... Any ideas or commements?... I was avoiding the north western part of Nevada because of Burning Man. Thanks, Bruce Link to comment
SageRider Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 724 (East West route between near Golconda & Tuscarora) is dirt. There are no paved alternatives that I am aware of other than I80 (South side) or SR78 (North side) ID SR51 / NV SR225 through Owyee is paved. Link to comment
farmerp Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 The ride south of Elko up Lamoille Canyon (I think that was the name) to the glacier and back should not be missed. A big surprise in the middle of NV. The road north to ID is somewhat better than most NV roads. The Star? has good eats in Elko. Have fun Link to comment
