About the Success Loop Scenic Drive

The Success Loop Scenic Drive in Eastern Nevada, in the vicinity of Ely, is a wonderful drive that few people outside of the local area ever bother to take…let alone know about. The road begins about 8 miles North of the town of McGill, and then cuts through (on paved roads) a beautiful valley with the mountains of the Schell Creek Range providing a wonderfully scenic backdrop to the east. After about 15 miles the paved part of the road ends as the road begins a moderately steep drive up to the pass…called Success Summit. From the pass you get wonderful views of the Schell Creek Range and the nearby Steptoe Valley. The road then descends rather steeply for a few miles down from the pass, before leveling out as it follows Steptoe Creek. The road soon becomes paved as it passes by Cave Lake State Park and, about five miles later, the road ends at the junction of Highway 93…about 8 miles South of Ely.
