About 20 minutes west of Elko Nevada just before the town of Lamoille you'll find the turnoff to Lamoille Canyon in the Humboldt National Forest. The 12 mile drive to the end of the road is simply gorgeous, evoking thoughts of Zion and Yosemite, and when I was there a few days ago the mountainsides were impossibly green and lush. I happened to turn into this campground about 10 miles in and stumbled across this stunning view. To see for yourself, take the loop B turn and when you get to the small bridge, stop, look left and enjoy.

Top Elko County Hotel Reviews

Wendover Nugget Hotel & Casino by Red Lion Hotels

10/10 Excellent

"The best hotel room I got very clean and nice people "

Esquire Inn

10/10 Excellent

"This Inn is a hidden gem. The staff were amazing. They called me to set up a late check-in and even moved me to the ground floor when I requested it. Housekeeping did a great job and tailored my request to my schedule, since I stayed here for a week. Breakfast was not all that elaborate, but it was nice and helped me get something in my stomach after traveling over 10 hours on the road. I highly recommend this Inn and will stay here again in the future."

Elkotel

10/10 Excellent

"If you're traveling across the US on Highway 80, and need a place to spend a night, this is where you want to be!! Elkotel is a diamond in the rough--a lovely little boutique hotel hidden among the usual Comfort Inn, Motel 6 and the like. The rooms are well-appointed and have a glamorous, mid-century vibe. Price per night is super reasonable and it's close to a great pizza joint, Albertson's grocery and Dollar Tree to list a few. I highly recommend."
