About Wells

Set where Interstate 80 crosses Highway 93 in northeastern Nevada, Wells is a quiet crossroads town with deep frontier roots. It started as a welcome water stop for pioneers and railroad crews, but today it mostly draws people who appreciate open space and mountain scenery. Living here puts you right at the base of the East Humboldt Range, with easy weekend trips up to Angel Lake for hiking, camping, and fishing.
