As a truck driver, I used to drive through here very often, day, night, winter, summer... you name it. I want to go back and take my time to really enjoy the scenery. I remember one time driving at night with a full moon in winter, what a beautiful night that was, that memory will stay with me forever. Thanks for sharing your video.
Your lucky🙏
This is my favorite 🏜️ desert
I want to buy a small humble house 1 bd and 1 bath or a 2 bd and 1 bath in Ely 😊🙏🏡 Nevada
@@MonicaRodriguez-ub5lq nice
And in this life it was now a like dream to be in USA for me
Can we stop there and can we do party ?
This is one of my life goals. I'm from Germany and my biggest dream is to drive there..
You should go visit Joshua Tree National Park, Mojave Preserve, Devil's Playground, and Kelso Dunes. You'd love it! Dann noch gute Reise!
Your biggest dream should be to get rid of Angela Merkel
Leonidas Saber Our people already try. Public polls show that Merkel is becoming more and more unpopular after the whole refugee policy and everything else she fucked up. The big disadvantage of this is that the national socialist parties are becoming more popular. We just have to wait for the next elections, but this is a big crisis at the moment and there will be a change.
+Leonidas Saber MY Biggest Dream Is For USA To Get Rid Of GLORIA STEINEM And GLORIA ALLRED And FEMINISM!
EurocorpFx my biggest dream too 💗
I'm from Manila Philippines where traffic is worst than ever... This road in US NEVADA which they call the loneliest road could just be every Filipino's dream road, i swear!
There are lots of empty roads in western America. Such as in Wyoming and Montana. Hardly any people.
Thanks for sharing this beautiful video. What a great country we live in with such diverse geography and each state is unique... just love it!
JG Perea You are welcome and thanks for viewing!
Greatest country on God's green earth!
So at night the only light sources would be the moon and my headlights?
Basically lol
Put your high beams on
Maf939 who the hell would come here at night?
Gets dark AF out in the middle of Nevada.
@@YonasSereke1998 😂
makes no sense to have a speed limit on a road like this
Have you seen the way Americans drive? Eyes glued to their phones and eating a plate of nachos from the Flying J.
+Christopher W I'm American. Never drove while on the phone or eating anything.
you are correct about the 'open speed law' prior to '75... i purposely drove my '69 dodge super bee to Nevada to 'open it up' . that car flattened out at 120 m.p.h. , but i did drive at 90-100 on hwy 95 going north out of Beatty, Nev. for some long stretches...
R Duran - He's joking, lighten up.
@R Duran Well, then you are one of the few. Driving truck I saw just about everything from my 'perch' up high. They all drive down the interstate at 80 MPH reading a book or newspaper, working on a laptop computer, watching a movie on a 7" DVD player sitting on the dash, eating a meal with knife and fork, texting of course but with a mount attached to the steering wheel so they didn't have to 'hold' the phone, changing clothes, putting on make-up, and the assorted sexual experiences of guys jacking-off, women driving naked with their tinted windows up but the sun roof open, etc. etc. etc......... The best one was a guy out in Kalifornia running down a half mile entrance ramp with a notebook computer on his lap typing with one hand while drinking his coffee and eating his breakfast with the other doing 45 MPH the whole time. And of course, he expected me to slow down and let him in after running the entire length of the ramp without speeding up..... NOT. First and LAST time I ever accepted a load going to that state. Most of the drivers out there are nuts. They remind me of my brother-in-law that thinks driving is a waste of his time, so he thinks about everything except driving. Maybe that's why he had three at fault accidents in three weeks time???!!! Do not know how he ever managed to keep his insurance, but it must have cost him a mint. And not just car drivers either anymore... the 'new breed' of truck drivers, the 'steering wheel holders' as we called them, are just as bad as the car drivers. The only difference is, their 'car' weighs 80,000 pounds.
I had to detour on US-50 after a chemical spill on I-80 and this route took me through Ruby Lake National Wildlife Refuge and I caught 5 black broncos on my camera while passing through. And yes... it is very desolate and "lonely" if you will. I took this highway as a good excuse to smoke a bowl and listen to 80s music while driving at 90mph lol
Ahh, good times...
I smoked two joints before I smoked two joints, and then I smoked two more!
Raptorman0909 nice sublime reference
I rode "the Lonliest Road" US 50 in Nevada on my 7,800 mile cross country motorcycle adventure in 2011. This road was one of my favorite parts. First heard of this road in Neal Peart's book "Ghost Rider"
Did you drive a car or truck?
Beautiful country
"What makes the desert beautiful is somewhere it hides a well"
InterstateKyle Oasis!
The truck driver took along time to realize one of his wheels had locked up!
Some say the brakes are still locked to this day...
Wait what
I don’t get it time stamp?
@@___aaron.m7930 starting from 4:38, note the burnt rubber streaks entering the road. They continue until 5:59, where they lead off the road seem to lead to the truck parked there.
Man the southwest is so beautiful i'm from puerto rico so i'm not use to the desert i hope i can go there some time :) great video btw!
jorge andres this is not the southwest but ok
My dream has always been to drive a convertible classic with top down down this highway
waykool698 In A January BLIZZARD At 4:01 AM, Accompanied By HIGH WIND WARNING!!?
Richard Kaltenbach No way. That sounds terrifying. In the summer haha.
waykool698 ohhh me too!
That's everyone's dream lel
I am a Vegas native and I got a speeding ticket for doing 110 on my Focus ST on this road.
When I see a drive view like this,I'm mesmerized because I Always lived in the crowded hectic city (NY)....I always wanted to see the great beyond...Esp. states and areas like this one... Thanks.🚐🚘🚗🚥🚦🚧
God bless the United States of America
Get Rid Of RADICAL FEMINISM And GEO METRO BASHING (VEHICLE STEREOTYPING/PROFILING) And Maybe, JUST MAYBE--America Can Be Great Again!
Until Then, I'm Going MGTOW, And Yeah, I'm Keeping The GEO METRO, sorry!
Richard Kaltenbach Your comment is very irrelevany
SlyFan12345678 The USA kind of sucks
@@richardkaltenbach3961 Stfu stupid incel.You get no 😺
That place reminds me of the film - hills have eyes. Scary. :|
I live in the desert (near Las Vegas). I can confirm that is very accurate. If the landscape won't bring you down to your knees the climate definanetly will!
Yessss omg
I felt my blood pressure go down watching this, thank you thank you
Cheers
US 50 is one of the most beautiful and peaceful roads I have ever been on and I've been on most of the highways in this country in my 20 years of driving truck
Are gas station an issue or Not? Or. Better carry a gas can just in case?
Andres Moreno trucks can go 1200 miles on a full tank. That’s more than enough to get to any place to fuel.
@@Blunt_Spartan I'm sure Andres was asking about regular cars. not long-haul trucks.
Hi, I'm from Brazil. I love the American roads!
Renato J Rossanezi I live in US and the roads can turn very boring
They suck
Salve
me from india
This video inspired me to take my motorcycle from Georgia to Nevada -- and a few other places out that way -- so that I could make claim to riding the loneliest road in America.The whole trip was a blast but i really enjoyed this road. There's something about the desolation of Nevada that's calming.
Route 50, then across the great Smokey Valley through Beaty to Vegas. You for sure will need extra gas. Another side track that is awesome for a bike is just inside Utah on the west side. Route 11. The old and winding road. It crosses the states. I have discovered many forgotten roads in my many trips back and forth across our beautiful country. I even discovered Walmart country market at the beginning of 11. It is like a convenient mart. Slept there for a few hours on a couple of trips
Nevada is a beautiful state! It is so wide open and far off from big city life!
Hello everyone! Thank you for watching this and making this my most popular video ever. An updated version of this will be released in November. But if you become a patreon member at Patreon.com/InterstateKyle you can see the newer version, a 23 minute long video covering 125 miles along this route earlier than November. Thanks everyone for everyone for watching and being patient for 7 years to see the updated version. Stay tuned...
Why don't you film the drive from jackpot to to wells. I go to elko a couple times a year and I really enjoyed this stretch of roads. You ever thought of filming the drive from Wells to Angel Lake? This is an interesting drive.
what is the length of this road?
Love the music, perfect for long drive playlist
Hi where are you from
Wow, that was an amazing seven minutes. I could not get the image of covered wagons, horses and settlers off my mind, thank you.
looks so great! never seen such an impressive landscape (ok well, im living in germany, theres no desert)
traveled that hiway more than 100,000 miles logged freight no breakdowns
i've been to the west coast plenty of times, but never have had the chance to drive through the desert. i would love to do this and just blast johnny cash or some dark country! Deserts are some of the most captivating environments to me. there not being close to anything captivates me in too many ways to count.
phenomenalclassic93
I hear ya.
Ive driven across the southern portion of the country from California to Florida and back more than a few times and nothing beats the deserts in the southwest. There's something so beautiful but dangerous about them. If you get caught out in the middle of nowhere with no water you could be shit out of luck for a while.
phenomenalclassic93 Bring plenty of water, umbrella, gas, spare tire and your phone when you're out there in the open. It's a very dangerous yet oddly beautiful terraine.
Great video, thanks! In 2006 My wife and I rode our HD Ultra on a fantastic 10,000 mile ride from D.C. to British Columbia and returned via the PCH and below SF we turned east to get onto US 50. Eureka, I remember it well...we spent the night at the Best Western there and I woke up at 4:30 with kidney stones! We got on the road and I kept pounding down the water and stopped often to get rid of it. A Nevada Trooper pulled up when we were somewhere in the Basin and he said there wasn't a hospital for hundreds of miles in any direction but he offered to bring in a helicopter to fly me out, "But the bike has to stay." I thanked him anyway but we pushed on...finally got rid of the stones in Tennessee. We still had the time of our lives on that trip...with a total of 1 1/2 hour of rain for the 7 1/2 weeks. Amazing! Thanks again for the memories!
Steve Kerr Wow man, I'm very sorry to hear your experience from Eureka, NV! I'm sorry it took so long to reply, been really busy lately. My hat is off to you, you are a true biker to go thru such pain for the longest time. Althought it may not have been such a happy memory, I'm glad my video helped trigger something that you and your wife experienced together. It is very heartwarming to get these type of comments. :)
i only have 1 item in my bucket list before i die. and it is to drive here
It's worthy of that...I am on it currently heading east in Ely...light dusting of late fall snow made it even more EPIC
Drove this road in Dec 2005. Wow. It was dark. Cold. Snow knee deep. It's free range. No fences. Animals are right next to the road. Awesome!!
wow, felt like i just went on a road trip. nice song too.
I am a Filipino, here in the Philippines, I wish, instead of calling it "The Loneliest Road in America", we may call it: The Most Peaceful Road in America
Well done, that was awesome, WOW. That valley after Eureka was breath taking. I just feel that if you get stuck on that road, specially at night. Boy you are doom. I bet that there's no phone signal either. Good Job! I just subscribed to you...
My Timing Belt BROKE On Me On I-40 In ARIZONA (Another Great State For Lonely Highways!) Inbetween ASH FORK And WILLIAMS!! Good Thing My GEO METRO 3 Cylinder Is Non-Interference. That Stretch Of I-40 Arizona, There's NOTHING THERE!! Luckily I Had Minutes On My POS Cellphone And Called AAA And It STILL TOOK OVER 3 AND A HALF HOURS For Them To Come Rescue Me. Yep, If You Don't Have A Sound Car, And If You Break Down YES YOU ARE DOOMED!
I Also Had My DISTRIBUTOR SPLIT IN HALF On Me In My GEO METRO On US 97 About 3 Miles North Of SHANIKO OREGON!!! I Had To SLEEP IN MY CAR ON THE SIDE OF THE HIGHWAY!!! TALK ABOUT ONE SCARY NIGHT!! OF WHICH I'LL NEVER EVER FORGET!!!
How frequent are the gas stations????
Whts song is this?? :)) Osome song and road too ;)
What country are you from? Have you been to the USA?
What is stopping you from putting the hammer down?
Nevada cops are really aggressive believe it or not and they do patrol this area.
Damn!...I wanted to play Road Rash there
If the car is fucked up due to road rash, you will be stranded really bad
And Especially If You Drive A GEO METRO!!! The NEVADA HIGHWAY PATROL, Like The CALIFORNIA HIGHWAY PATROL Love To EAT GEO METROS FOR BREAKFAST LUNCH AND DINNER!!!
And Then There's The UTAH HIGHWAY PATROL....
song freak what's road rash?
Come on over to New York and take a nice journey from Albany along the Scenic Highway. U.S. 20 westbound. Lots of farms, hills. Vintage houses and many more to see!!!!!
Cristoforo Colombo God bless you because of your discovered one of wonderful place like UNITED STATES
*My dream is to drive a 1968 Dodge Challenger on this road and get into Las Vegas and get a very cold mint whiskey, which for me is a dream that I must fulfill even though I'm not from the USA* 🖤
Are we just going to ignore the fact that, that truck driver's trailer was swerving all across the road for miles before he stopped to see what was wrong.😂😂😂
beautiful your country dude, I'm from chile
This song is really ripping off those big red gum commercials
Thanks for the Ride! Cool Music!
Just love it
fantastic video
This video is so incredibly relaxing. It lulls me to sleep every night! Thank you for curing my insomnia
Wow man, that's fascinating
I miss Nevada...
@HoltCalifornia idk its hard to say anymore. US 6 might be less traveled than 50. there are only 2 towns or so on US 6 through nevada on one stretch, so US 6 could also have the title for loneliest road.
This is so cool. Felt like I was on a live road trip.
Come to Colorado and drive over Red Mountain Pass on hiway 550. One false move on that narrow road and you end up at the bottom of the canyon, dead for sure. Great scenery. Or drive Shelf Road, northeast of Canon City, for a similar experience.
@ShingleCreek hmm that is pretty interesting ill be sure to mention that on my next video on US 50 in Nevada when i hope to re-record some of it by next year..
I think many of the wider 2 lane highways here in Canada should be 110 km/h (70 MPH) like this road. That would be fine.
US-50 is known as the Lonliest Road in America because the July 1986 edition of Time Magazine called it so, and the state of Nevada quickly made that the nickname of the highway for publicity and tourism.
Yes, but if you've ever driven on it, and I have, you do find it to be very sparsely populated with very few vehicles outside of the few towns and cities along the way. Basically you have Ely (pop 4000) the largest city along 50 in Neveda until you get to Fallon (pop 8500). Eureka has about 600 and Austin has about 200 and that's about it. So from the border with Utah until Fallon there are four towns/cities with populations of 4000, 600, 200 and 8500 in about 320 miles.
America is so lucky to have such large land ,in some places such as europe there's a country called Vatican City and it's the smallest country in the world. :///
I've done this drive, it's pretty remote, but if you want REAL space, try driving through the Australian outback - especially Western Australia, then you'll really appreciate the meaning of the word isolation!
Amerixan Southwest has a climate and terraine like the Australian Outback. We even have the venomous critters that can kill aas well as the deadly lazer we call a sun.
Yo Mama testimonials my playlist
This road in the video is remote, but lots of cars along the way so I wouldn't call it lonely. The road through Nullarbor Plain between Adelaide and Perth is one item on my To Drive list.
@@DosAussieThai You just saw the beginning of this road, no where NEAR most of it. There are people that halfway across have gotten out of their car, sat in the middle of the road and eaten lunch, and did not see another vehicle for over an hour.
Yes, but considering America is the 3rd most populous country in the world, it's more unusual not to see anyone for many, many miles here than in Australia.
Love the video. Thanks for keeping it slow so we can enjoy the beauty of it. The last 2 minutes could easily be the ending credits scene of a movie. Great color.
on 5:40 that is a deSert scene, not dessert one
This video is remarkable,enchanting,etc,etc.
thanks for the ride interstatekyle! there is a huge difference in 'lonely' & solitude.. i look at these kind of hwy's as solitude, love them!!!
NICE !!
Thank you!!
Looks like the roads in Rad Racer!
I am Indian and I hope I shall visit in America I know about all America country and now i am 14 years old and all you guys please come in my country
It's been 5 years bro and iam the first one who likes your comment
Speed limits, never have seen them lol, no one pays attention to any if they are any where, no highway patrol, no cops in the air, go like hell without a care. Kids hate this drive, behave like brats.
Wow, that- wow. Everything is so remote... and brown!
I'm from PAKISTAN...but I never accepted Pakistan as a country. I never accepted the people of Pakistan as Humans. I never accepted the teachers of Pakistan as my real mentors and teachers. I'm always and always thinking and dreaming about the US. I love the whole US from Alabama all the way to Wyoming. The US is my dream. I want to become an American citizen forever and forever. May GOD bless the whole US (Amen).
Beautiful video. It makes you want to get on the road!
love to US culture from india
i rode my bike (bicycle, not motorcycle) across the US in summer of 2016 and highway 50 was on my route. By far the most difficult riding, but the scenery is breath taking. Watching this video made me feel like I was back on the saddle again. Gave me chills.
My dream is to drive around Nevada on roads like this in a top of the range motorhome.
God did a great job creating all these beautiful places in this world. We're yet to adventure off to space and find more incredible creations from our God.
My wife was raised in Eureka and always enjoy exploring nearby areas away from the pavement. As a Native Nevadan the state, excluding Clark County (Vegas), is God's country for me.
Pro-Street
this is one of my bucket lists. I wish to drive here soon
Wow, thanks a lot for that video. I did the US 50 tour this October, from San Francisco via Route 80 to Reno, onto US 50 in Fernley to Colorado Springs. All the way Route 50. In a Mustang. 4 days of pure scenery and loneliness and although it was... kind of repetitive, it never got boring or dull. Sounds weird, but then again we don't have this kind of road in Germany.
When you come over that pass at around 4:26, that's the spot where had to stop and make photos, because I was totally whoa'd ^^
what beautiful scenery
Thanks for the background music, you can turn if off now.
I drove the entire route 50.
Giving me anxiety
this road lonely? you should try out US 6 nearby... once I drove 300 miles with no traffic....
I want to move to Las Vegas in a few years time
so beautiful
great video Kyle! and great choice of music to go with it! The video and music work well together! I just found out about this road yesterday while running with a friend of mine, he and his wife drove it last year and he was telling me about it, figured there had to be some video of it and yours was the 1st to come up, thanks! Can't wait to drive this someday!
I also was a trucker who.had a home in Fernley.I was born in Reno. Hwy 50 is a deadly road.. Respect her or perish.
My kind of place! ;)
Music sucks!
amazing video, great road.
That's my dream to drive there in a mustang 😍
Thanks for the really cool video! I agree that I'm not sure if US 50 is the loneliest road anymore. I've never been on US 6, but have been on US 375 to visit Area 51 and that was DESOLATE! We were there for two hours and not one car went by in either direction! It was great :-)
Beautiful, fantastic
This is the NFS Prostreet Nevada Higway you was looking for
I've watched enough slasher films to know that this is the worst place where your car will stop working. Like, seriously, run for your life
FINALLY! someone else who appreciates 009 sound system.
Would you recommend driving an electric car in this region? Are there any power stations in these regions??
Thank you everyone for the comments and support on this video! I will try to record this again in the future and it will feature better editing!
I like road trips, but would feel kinda lonely on this one, but the landscape is beautiful. It would be great if speed limits were removed on this highway during the day, or at least 80 mph. But sadly folks don't know how to drive safely, so no speed limits would never happen here. Lol...
Oohh Jesus, this shit is looks like my commute.... Agghhrr and I live in europe!
@zebra3567 Thank you for watching! Im glad you enjoyed it! Ill be making this trip again soon and ill upload it with my newer software.
5:40 give me a manual transmission and 500hp and I'll have the time of my life!
Hey its incredible I was from croatia but I will really go visit the lonliest road in america.Its beautiful.
Thank you for video. I like American's roads
Nice...feeling like home world tour !
i love road like this.
fantastic video kyle. keep it up!!
