Whatever you’re looking for in a scenic drive, there’s a good chance Nevada has it. The most mountainous state and the sixth-largest state in the lower 48, the Silver State’s majestic peaks and valleys are spread over a seemingly endless chunk of land. Nevada’s three national and seven state byways travel along the shore of Lake Tahoe, visit a gem of a lake on Indian territory, introduce the glitz and glamour of Las Vegas, and navigate through one-of-a-kind state parks. Nevada’s scenic byways wind their way through some of the most spectacular scenery in the country.
Chosen based on input from state and federal land management agencies for their beauty, history, culture, and recreation, each byway offers insight into Nevada’s unique place in America. Following are the highlights of the state’s 10 scenic byways.
