Today’s Scenic Sunday Drive takes place in eastern Nevada, primarily along US Highway 93 and Nevada Highway 318, between the Idaho state line at Jackpot to Las Vegas; a drive of approximately 450 miles.
[Each Sunday I plan to release a scenic drive from somewhere around the country for your viewing pleasure. I don’t plan to narrate these, although I may include some informational banners if appropriate. The point is to just enjoy the scenery.]
US Highway 93 in Nevada is also known as the Great Basin Highway. I think there is a lot of beautiful scenery to see along the way.

We’ll start with a cruise through Jackpot, Nevada on US Highway 93.
Next we’ll drive to Ely, where we’ll take the shortcut on US Highway 6 and Nevada Highway 318; a 135 mile shortcut that saves 40 miles on this trip!
Finally, we’ll arrive in Las Vegas.
