The Loneliest Road in America - Highway 50 East Coast to West Coast

Highway 50 or US 50 is a 3073 mile (4946 km) long highway across the United States. It begins on the east coast in Ocean City, Maryland and ends on the west coast in West Sacramento, California. It runs through 13 states and crosses all four time zones of the USA. Due to the sparse population along the road, US Highway 50 in Nevada is called "The Loneliest Road in America".

Highway 50 offers travelers a diverse landscape, from scenic mountain ranges to endless desert landscapes. Its relative isolation makes it unique. On some sections of the route there are few settlements or tourist attractions, befitting the name "The Loneliest Road in America". This can be both a challenge and an adventure as travelers have the opportunity to experience the untouched nature and vastness of the country.

However, there are also some notable sights along Highway 50. For example, the route runs right through Washington D.C., the capital of the USA. In Colorado, Route 50 passes the historic town of Canon City, known for its prison history. In Nevada, Route 50 runs along Lake Tahoe and through Great Basin National Park, where you can explore breathtaking mountain landscapes and caves. An additional adventure is offered in some sections by the original old road, which is no longer maintained but is still passable.

It's important to note that Highway 50 is not always the fastest or most convenient route to get from coast to coast. It is more of a choice for those who seek adventure and are ready to accept the loneliness and challenges of the road. Overall, Route 50 offers a unique opportunity to discover the beauty and diversity of the American landscape. It is a journey that offers both challenges and unforgettable experiences.

Our video shows you many sections of the old Highway 50 original road as well as various sights and landmarks including all location information. We also show you abandoned road sections, bridges and gas stations and where they can be found.

I mean it's one of the oldest and longest roads in america that's probably why. There isn't anything out west and in the central us if you aren't near a major city
