As the largest town in northeastern Nevada, Elko is a confluence of Western cultures and a gateway to both the Ruby Mountains and some of Nevada’s most surprising and untamed wilderness. With so much to explore around here, there’s no shortage of things to do or outdoor activities to enjoy. In town, head for cultural institutions that anchor Nevada’s artistic heritage, check out some of Nevada’s most iconic restaurants, explore dozens of murals and free public art, or hit up one of our classic sagebrush saloons, which offer a different kind of perspective on Nevada life, one you can’t experience from I-80.
