Winnemucca Travel Information
Winnemucca (pop 9000) is the historical crossroads of Nevada, where
the major route connecting northern California and the East met up
with roads from the Northwest. Today it's still a frequent traveller's
stop, with plenty of places for visitors, whatever their destination,
to get some rest or food before continuing on their way. Located at
the southern end of the Paradise Valley with the Santa Rosa Mountains
flanking the far western view, Winnemucca is more than just a
convenient junction on the map. Gold, silver, dolomite and limestone
have all been mined nearby. Today, the mountains are furnished with an
excellent trail system, and state parks are located within a short
drive of downtown. Winnemucca is located along I-80 in north central
Nevada. For more information on the Winnemucca area, please select a
