Timelapse Drive - US Route 50 Nevada "Loneliest Highway"

If anyone plans on doing this, you'd better be driving a 70's muscle car while listening to the Doors, Riders on The Storm is recommended.

This is why I love America. You could never get this solitude in the UK. When I was in the US last year it was great being in the middle of nowhere.

Honestly there are roads more desolate than this one in the states. I used to live in Elko, NV and have family in Oregon. Past Winnemucca, NV. I always used to take 140 out of Nevada towards Burns, OR and Bend, OR cause 95 is sometimes patrolled... No one patrols out towards Denio. You could drive that for 2 and half hours and see 3-6 cars the entire trip. The bad thing, the creepy thing, is you can go 120mph and feel like you're going no where. It's surreal out on the salt flats. Between Winnemucca and Denio you can drive as fast as your car will go, and the mountains barely get larger minute to minute. It just feels like you're being completely still because the relative change in perspective is so imperceptible. There is nothing out there.

Just when I thought "well this is getting kind of rural looking" you came up on a flag man in the middle of nowhere. Cracked me up.

Video is moving at 1653.45 mph. Cool.

5:18 bathroom break lol

Imagine running out of gas

Great video.  I drove Highway 50 from grand Junction, Colorado to Reno, Nevada in 1994.  It wasn't just a trip.  It was an experience.  Loved it.

One of the best things about there is the nighttime sky you can see stars and Stars and Stripes Forever

India is a really vast country but u can never find a lonely road as this,even in the most dense areas like rain forest if arunachal I don't think it might be this empty

I'm gonna do this next month .... from Maryland all the way to Sac ...

I was watching this very intently and that traffic light in Fallon, NV about gave me a heart attack.

We really dislike this highway, if you drive faster than 75 MPH(which everyone does) a highway Patrol car will appear out of no where and if you are lucky you will get a warning. This highway pays their salary.

Could you imagine the pioneers coming across this on horse back and wagon. And with teenagers. OMG I'd be think'n what have I got myself into.

thanks for the ride, I enjoyed it!   I would love to ride my Harley on this road one of these days!     its on my bucket list!!

WOW , a lot of activity on that road for being " the loneliest road". Not too lonely. Now Oregon has some lonely roads. 100+ miles between towns with NO traffic ( Lakeview to Burns OR.  139 miles NO traffic -- None)

This is the single best timelapse drive I have ever seen. I love Nevada, the desolation, and the music you put to it. That was perfect. I used to watch a video of a guy driving the Dalton in Alaska set to a Roger Miller soundtrack, but this has it beat.

You really got to make sure your gas tank's full man. I got a little car sick, but this is a cool video for sure. My beautiful great aunt lived out her 100+ years in Lovelock Nevada. It really is beautiful country. 🎉❤

I remember driving with my parents through Bosnia in 2003 something like that over thr mountains where Manitu was filmed. There where some areas lonely like in this video or even lonelier.

Route 50...I reckon you're safe if your intention is to bury someone
