    Lamoille Canyon Road

    Published on Aug 24, 2006

    Just twenty minutes from the town of Elko, Lamoille Canyon Road provides a fertile and green respite from the surrounding area's sparser desert ecosystem. The route's rapid elevation gain takes you up into the state's attractive recreational oasis of Ruby Mountains Scenic Area. During the byway's twelve miles you'll pass bright white granite cliffs, ice-cold waterfalls, and a well-preserved and wild ecosystem. Take a long hike, spend the night camping, or just enjoy an afternoon drive and spectacular scenery.
