Unusual Attractions in Austin

U.S. Route 50

Officially named the "Loneliest Road in America" this barren stretch of Nevada road offers almost nothing but sky and open fields.

Berlin-Ichthyosaur State Park

Only intact Ichthyosaur skeleton in the United States.

Toquima Cave

This central Nevada cave is the spiritual home of ancient and enigmatic pictographs.

Stokes Castle

This railroad magnate's 19th century tower is more than a little bit out of place in the Nevada desert.
