Description
One of the roads taken on our trip.. It has a lot of history to it. It is desolate in some areas but has its own beauty and solitude in other regions..
Back in 1986, Life magazine referred to Nevada's portion of U.S. 50, a two-lane highway bordered mostly by sagebrush, as the "loneliest road" in America.
It's reputation for loneliness is merited. In the stretch of highway between Fallon, Nevada and Delta, Utah, a span of 409 miles, there are only three major towns: Austin, Eureka and Ely. And they are sparsley populated.
In all, U.S. 50 traverses nine mountain passes between Fallon and the Utah border. This gives it an elevation range between approximately 4,000 and 7,000 feet with each pass. It also follows the path of the Pony Express routes of the early 1860's...

In australia we have many long strecth like this. Always amazing to ride it. Great shot with a parked bikes on a side.
Very well done. 5+.
Awesome capture!
I drove in a 50' Chevy souped up 6 cylinder on Highway 50 in 1965 or 66 into Carson from up north before any interstate. I was wondering if I would see any of the Cartwrights-haha I forgot all about it until I looked at the map beautiful place and capture
WOW!!! next time when I get back to the US, am definitely bragging you for the road trip. Photo Tip: Try another shot where you lower the camera to ground level and shoot...
What a fantastic view, stunning depth and fantastic mood. A superb shot!
Great picture...think I've been on this road but like 30 yrs. ago...I like how the road draws your eyes farther into the picture.
Been to Ely and I got to say, no matter how you approach it, it is on a lonely stretch of road with little to look at. Great shot and the pov is perfect.
Such a beautiful view with the bikes standing along side the highway. I bet the bikers are behind the camera...lol Excellent. Aloha
Very cool!
EXCELLENT CAPTURE & PERSPECTIVE !!!!! FELICIDADES ;)
Cool shot:)
Oh wow. I was liking this shot, so I opened it in full view. WOW! It sucked me right into my monitor. Compelling and wonderful!
This is superb. I love these kinds of shots, and the bikes on the right are a wonderful touch!
It is quite beautiful country, in its way. Very nicely framed and composed photo.
Excellent picture and very nice composition with these motos and perspective on the way :)
Very cool shot - really dig the perspective and depth. Cool:)
I really enjoyed reading the 'about' very interesting. We have roads like this in South Africa, especially through the Free State. The photo had a wonderful perspective. The narrowing of lines on the sides of the road give the whole picture a great depth, the textures are great and the bikes give it human interest making it not just a 'landscape' :) Hugs Sylki PS Thank you for commenting on 'Cat' much appreciated
Awesome POV!!! Wonderful capture and road mood!!!
'Get your motor runnin', head out on the highway, looking for adventure, and whatever comes our way....' This photo is just like the 'Born To Be Wild'-song of Steppenwolf: a real classic. This is how I imagine the Wild Wild West. Great shot!!
Excellent love the composition and crop!
now that's a great Harley travel shot!
real cool shot
.....love this pan - esp on the zoom !
excellent pov bravo
what a trip this would be...awesome shot, love the bikes
