Basques, Buckaroos and Ruby Mountain Views

Embark on an unforgettable journey through the heart of the American West with Basques, Buckaroos & Ruby Mountain Views, a road trip that follows Nevada’s storied Cowboy Corridor. Starting in vibrant San Francisco, this itinerary takes you from iconic coastal sights to the wide-open skies and high desert charm of northern Nevada. Along the way, discover the historic capital of Sacramento, dive into Reno’s blend of culture and adventure, and experience the warm hospitality and Basque heritage of Winnemucca.

As you venture further east, the town of Elko invites you into the soul of cowboy country with authentic cuisine, rich arts traditions, and the breathtaking beauty of the Ruby Mountains. The journey continues through classic frontier towns and dramatic desert landscapes, with one final hurrah in West Wendover before ending in Salt Lake City. Blending scenic drives, cultural depth, and a true taste of the Old West, this is Nevada at its most authentic—untamed, unexpected, and undeniably rewarding.
