Welcome to Nevada Pony Express Territory

The Pony Express mail service was the seam that held the United States together, and Pony Express Territory in Central Nevada was home to a great stretch of the historic trail! Now home to the “Loneliest Road in America,” visit Pony Express Territory and see that the region isn’t lonely at all, but full of unique culture, history, and nature! Jump aboard the Ghost Train of Ely at the Nevada Northern Railway Museum and see the landscape from the comfort of this steam powered train as it travels through the region. Hit the open road on Highway 50, the Loneliest Road, and see the contrast of desert paired with snow-capped mountain peaks on your way to Fallon. Stop along the way for the same unbeatable view of the starry sky the Pony Express messengers had long ago!
