About Montello

Montello is a tiny community in northeastern Nevada's high desert, sitting along Highway 233 near the Utah border. Born as a Southern Pacific railroad stop in the early 1900s, the town today is home to only a few dozen residents. Life here moves at a quiet, unhurried pace beneath wide-open skies and sweeping views of Pilot Peak. It offers deep solitude, rugged desert scenery, and a truly remote lifestyle for anyone looking to get away from the bustle of city living.
