About Mountain City
Tucked along the Owyhee River about 84 miles north of Elko, Mountain City is a tiny, remote outpost near the Idaho border. Originally settled as a mining camp, the town now serves as a quiet base for exploring the surrounding Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. Between the local Forest Service station, nearby ranches, and easy access to river fishing, it offers a rugged, peaceful lifestyle for anyone looking to get off the beaten path.
