The Loneliest Road in America
Sand Mountain Recreation Area, NV

Sand Mountain is located about 25 miles east of Fallon. It is composed of a 600-foot high mound of sand that stretches for two miles. This enormous sand dune was created by sand carried by the wind from the beaches of a prehistoric inland sea that once covered much of Nevada. Sand Mountain is also a recreational area and offers many choices for having fun and learning about plants and animals.
