Section 2 of the Western Express Route begins in Fallon, Nevada and heads east along U.S. Highway 50
This road was described a few years ago by a Life magazine writer as "the loneliest road in America."
You'll see occasional vehicles on the road, but towns and services are far apart, sometimes a long day's commute away.
In most cases there are no houses or ranches between the services
The maps show where the longest stretches without services are located
There are two stretches of over 80 miles with no service at all.
This section of the Western Express Route is considered very difficult due not only to the terrain, but also to the lack of water, extreme temperatures and long kilometres without services.
Carrying a water purifier is strongly recommended for any access to water outside of cities.
Nevada is extremely dry and has no shade, except for three trees east of Fallon that our researchers discovered
This section ends in Cedar City, Utah
