Nice short day hike
Made the long and bumpy drive in my passenger vehicle to the base of the mountain with a friend and hiked the maintenance road to the summit. Great views from the top of the surrounding area, including the Ruby Mountains and the Independence Mountains off in the distance.

Great views
Lovely snow capped Rubies in the distance. Also, my car's first peak!

Drive Up
First time in Elko, ate at the Star Restaurant which was nice the night prior. Woke up early and drove up to the summit to get a look at the Ruby Mountains. I cannot wait to get back down here to do some hiking.

Drive Up
Drove up from Elko. The road was muddy and I had to take it quite slow in spots.

Did the drive
I got up before the sun did and drove up to the summit to witness the sunrise. A great viewpoint. Lots of cattle grazing on the lower mountain, even in the dark so I had to be extra careful in my driving.
Returned with Dennis Poulin on 6-3-11.

City lights from the summit
The first time I was on the summit, it was just getting to be sunset and the city lights from Elko and Spring Creek were appearing. We drove to the summit both times I was up there and each time it was beautiful.

Drive-up summit with great views
Great all-around views! I love this part of Nevada. If you're in the area and don't have a lot of time to spare, the drive to the top of Elko Mountain is well worth the time.
