Join @Adventure Glide Channel, @JP1970, and Manuel on an epic fall dual sport adventure motorcycle ride through Ely, Nevada's finest Success Loop Ride.
Of all the scenic drives in Nevada, we may drop the F-bomb on this one: FAVORITE. Nestled in the deliciously remote high-elevation mountains surrounding Ely, this eastern Nevada backcountry byway should float to the top of any Nevada adventurer's list.
Located directly off the Loneliest Road in America, about 10 minutes from downtown Ely, this scenic byway brings you through the spectacularly scenic Schell Creek Range. The Success Loop Scenic Drive lies adjacent to Cave Lake State Park, and depending on how you access this loop, you can begin or end your journey at the park—though we'd recommend starting at Cave Lake and ending near McGill. Throughout this easy, 40-mile drive, visitors will wind their way up into the remarkable high desert landscapes for which this part of The Great Basin is so well known. Here, expect to find incredible mountain views, aspens exploding with color, direct access to trailheads and singletrack, and maybe even an arborglyph or two.
Developed campsites are available in the National Forest Lands, but primitive camping opportunities can be found in many places along the Success Loop Scenic Drive. That, or hang your hat for the night at Cave Lake State Park, one of the state's only reservable yurts.
Not far from Great Basin National Park, this part of the country is known not only for its extreme darkness and unmatched stargazing but also for its quietness. Considered one of the darkest, quietest places in the lower 48, many different types of creatures are drawn here, where they can thrive in an actual nocturnal environment. The area is mainly known for Rocky Mountain Elk, but be sure to also keep your eyes peeled for Mule Deer, Mountain Lion, Desert Bighorn Sheep, Coyote, Jackrabbit, Kit Foxes, and a whole variety of migratory raptors and birds of prey.
Situated at 7,300 feet means that this scenic drive is a hard-to-believe 1,000 feet taller in elevation than Lake Tahoe… and that’s where the campaign begins, at its lowest elevation point. This means that winter access is almost impossible unless you’re interested in snowmobiling or a cross-country skiing adventure. In addition, because this scenic drive sits at such a high elevation, weather in this neck of Nevada can often be unpredictable, even during spring, summer, and fall months. The road changes from paved access to a well-maintained gravel road up and over the summit, but be sure you’re prepared to travel by the Dirt Road Code when headed out into Nevada’s more remote countryside.
Travel Nevada PRO TIP: Success Loop is stunning during the spring, summer, and fall months, but if you plan to visit during the summer or fall months, prepare for a show. Even late June delivers an explosion of wildflowers with every color of the rainbow, and during the fall months, the aspens are full of kaleidoscopic vibrancy. It’s hard to take a lousy picture along the route, particularly in the year's late summer and early fall months.
