Photoblog : The Monitor Valley of Central Nevada

The Monitor Valley of Central Nevada is a place that has essentially been forgotten. This valley lies to the Southwest of Austin, NV and to the Northeast of Belmont, NV. The sole road that runs through the length of the Monitor Valley is called the Belmont Road. 

A trip down the Belmont Road makes for a lonely drive. So lonely, in fact, you’ll see exactly TWO ranches on the entire 60 mile drive. The rest of the land is simply empty…and empty…and empty.

The valley itself is flanked by tall mountains, particularly on the west side. In the mountains the forests are thick, as the mountains of Central Nevada usually are. But down in the valley itself, trees are scarce and the views are enormous. The Monitor Valley is truly a great place to go to “feel small.”
