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.
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.
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!
Love the music, perfect for long drive playlist
Hi where are you from
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!!
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
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.😂😂😂
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.
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.
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.
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.🚐🚘🚗🚥🚦🚧
I felt my blood pressure go down watching this, thank you thank you Cheers
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.
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. :)
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
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
Nevada is a beautiful state! It is so wide open and far off from big city life!
Wow, that was an amazing seven minutes. I could not get the image of covered wagons, horses and settlers off my mind, thank you.
wow, felt like i just went on a road trip. nice song too.
what beautiful scenery
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.
@@Yoni2025 😂
Thanks for the Ride! Cool Music!
this is one of my bucket lists. I wish to drive here soon
Beautiful, fantastic
Thanks for the video! Was really good to make this road trip with you 😍
I miss Nevada...
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.
Just love it
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!!!!!
Beautiful video. It makes you want to get on the road!
traveled that hiway more than 100,000 miles logged freight no breakdowns
FINALLY! someone else who appreciates 009 sound system.
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!!!
Interstate Kyle. Thanks for this video! It inspired me to take this route 3 years ago. This year will be my 3rd trip. Love the song, and love the video! I watch and listen often!
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!
fantastic video kyle. keep it up!!
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.
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.
I watched and enjoyed the ride with that beautiful music, watched again for very relaxing melody, thanks for good choice.
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.
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 ^^
My husband drove this road from Reno to Ely for Sierra Nevada Stagelines. I went with him a couple times. Beautiful country!
Heading out for Lone Pine next Friday on a mc for Lone Pine, Ca...via US 50....The Loneliest Road in America. Thanks for sharing!
Subscribed! Love this!
looks so great! never seen such an impressive landscape (ok well, im living in germany, theres no desert)
Dear Kyle, thank you so much for the videos you uploaded. Im enjoying seeing your trips. The song in this video is just what we need in such trips. You have a good taste. Its so strange to seat at the monitor in Dnepropetrovsk region and enjoying your journey that you have taken on the other edge of the Earth... :-) The views you have seen by your own eyes are just unforgattable. I look forward for the Arizona`s highway trip by you. Best Regards
Great video! You've really captured some magical landscapes.
This is an awesome video thank you so very much for taking the time to make and post! I am thinking of doing a bicycle ride on the Western Express ('Frisco CA to Pueblo CO)... I love it when US50 reaches a summit or a sharp turn and then a breathtaking landscape unfolds
i love road like this.
My parents once drove us from Chicago, IL to the Grand Cayon. I remember seeing roads like this where all you could see was this highway stretching for miles and miles in the distance and nothing but desert all around us. We stopped by the giant Meteor Craytor in Arizona. What a trip that was. This brings back all those memories. I can only just imagine what's that like when it's pitch black at night and nothing but stars twinkling in the sky. No city lights to ruin that night show of nature! Thanks! (nice music by the way...fits great!)
What a beautiful country we live in, thanks for posting this!!
Excellent clip, Dude. So beautiful. A very fitting choice in music too. Gonna have to download that one. Thanks for the ride. Oh, I'm British, have yet to visit The State, clips like this are drawing me further to taking that trip.
This video is so incredibly relaxing. It lulls me to sleep every night! Thank you for curing my insomnia
Wow man, that's fascinating
Love the Great Basin! Wonderful video, great tunes! Fun!
I remember running Highway 50 in Nevada and seeing Wild Horses a whole herd of wild horses really something to see
the music and the photography would make a truly great background for a road movie;i see major movie potential in this.
My dream. I will be here one day soon. Thank you for sharing the beauty ❤️
Great video, one thing I would have loved to have done were things different and it seems a great many more people feel that way to. Thanks for the drive. Keep safe
This video is remarkable,enchanting,etc,etc.
Nice...feeling like home world tour !
Wow, that- wow. Everything is so remote... and brown!
4:20 onwards is a dream trip... Fantastic.. and great song
Good video thanks for sharing this great 👍
did this route after a particularly wet, nevada winter. the landscape was a lush green, all the way into utah. snow on the mountains. snow in bryce canyon. beautiful.
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!!!
This landscape reminds me of the desert areas of west Texas that I have driven through along US Hwy 90 between Del Rio and Sanderson. Incredible landscape.
Thanks for sharing
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.
fantastic video
amazing video, great road.
I truly liked the video. I know it's been almost 4 years but I just loved it. Great song BTW and I also enjoy reading about the route itself.
Just So You Guys Know, US 50 Loneliest Highway Doesn't End In ELY (Rhymes With JULY). No, US 50 Goes All The Way To The ATLANTIC OCEAN At OCEAN CITY MARYLAND!!!
@InterstateKyle well in my opinion those non speeded up videos aren't boring, i like to watch them cuz i can see more detail, thanks again for your video : )
Great video👍👍
Hey its incredible I was from croatia but I will really go visit the lonliest road in america.Its beautiful.
Great video. I like the commentary. This stretch of road is one of my favorites. Another bit of trivia; commercial trucks are not allowed on US 50 in this area without a permit. Basically, only trucks serving this area are allowed - commercial thru traffic must take other routes.
Great video.
I liked how the truck tire marks were "dancing" with the music. Hopefully this summer im going to go tour the desert on a road trip
Drove 50 from Ocean City MD to Sacramento CA in a Porsche convertible a few years ago. Arriving in Sacramento my first thought was wish I could turn it around and do the whole thing again in reverse. Even now viewing this video brings up my heart rate. Nirvana. Go for it EurocorpFx
Thank you so much for the video Kyle. It answered a question for my wife and I. This video is where they, TV SHOW RV, gets one of their scenes. I was wrong on the highway number. I was thinking it was US 66, but this video proves it is US 50. Don't know why, but I'd like to see it in person. I saw a few pieces of green, but not many. The place sorta reminds me of Co. in a way. To make a living you have to work for the fed, state, city or sell tourist things like gas. It does have its own special beauty.
I was on this road on my 88 Yamaha Venture in 2016 and there are salt flats that pass by the roads. I actually road my bike through the ditch and rode along the highway on the saltflat for a mile or so! Great fun!
The song and the vibe ❤
Nice video, Kyle!
I drove it east in 2012 a few days after new years day. It was just below zero with snow on the ground. No phone, radio or traffic. Just me listening to my truck engine praying that it wouldn't break down! I felt like the last human on earth!
cool song in the bg...n yes...beautiful scanery...🌞
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.
I rode this from Fallon station to where I got on 70e in Salina solo last July on my fxr. I think back to it often. While it may have been lonely, it was awesome.
Lambs are impressed with how beautiful this drive is. And we would probably hang out in the 7,000' range too just for the cooler air, which is better for us because of our wool.
The wife and I are planning on traveling the USA all over if we ever get ahead it will be sooner rather than later. Love this video
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
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'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.
@@dosaussiethai2127 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.
Great ride,...had to take it twice. Thanks!
Beautiful country! Beautiful America!!
I would feel free and probably happiest if I was driving like that in that place. The road, the view, so relaxing.
Man this video is America,great footage and song
