Great Basin Highway (US-93)
US Route 93 runs 520 miles across Nevada from the Arizona border near Laughlin north to the Idaho border near Jackpot, passing through the heart of the Basin and Range terrain. The motorcycle-relevant corridor is the central section from Ash Springs through Caliente to Ely — roughly 200 miles — traversing isolated mountain ranges, historic mining towns, and two notable state parks: Cathedral Gorge (near Panaca), where slot canyons and cream-colored bentonite spires rise from the valley floor, and Spring Valley State Park. Pioche, a preserved Victorian silver-mining town, sits just off the highway. Road quality is good, traffic is sparse, and the alternating canyon-and-basin rhythm provides constant visual variety without demanding technical skill.
