Lincoln County, Nevada

Lincoln County is in southeastern Nevada, next to Utah. It’s a place that redefines “off the beaten path.” It’s huge. And empty. We’re talking about an area larger than Connecticut with fewer than 5,000 residents. Pioche, the county seat, clings to its Wild West roots like a stubborn old cowboy.
This is where Area 51 conspiracy theorists come to play, with Rachel’s Little A’Le’Inn catering to UFO spotters. The landscape is a mix of desert beauty and pine-covered mountains. Outdoor lovers flock to Cathedral Gorge State Park, with its otherworldly rock formations.
Ranching still plays a big role here, but these days tourism is making its mark. You won’t find any traffic lights in the entire county. Not a single one. It’s a place where the night sky explodes with stars, and the silence can be downright deafening.
