About Tonopah and
Goldfield?
Tonopah and
Goldfield, located on Hwy 95, are among the the most unique and
historical towns in Nevada. Do you love the ambiance of a small town?
Both cities are original mining towns located north of Las Vegas, about
1/2 way between Las Vegas and Reno, Tonopah about 1/2 hour closer to
Reno, while Goldfield is about 1/2 hour closer to Las Vegas. The two
cities are about twenty five miles apart.
Tonopah is a
quaint little town, at 6034 ft. elevation, with the original charm of
silver and gold mines visible all over the local mountains, you can
still feel the presence of the days when cowboys and miners prevailed.
Though both cities are mining towns, the local culture is dramatically
different. Tonopah has more modern buildings, yet maintaining it's
historical charm.
Goldfield looks
very muck today as it did in its days of antiquity. If you enjoy
hiking, exploring, RVing, ATV's, mountain biking, motorcycles,
prospecting, metal detecting, camping, casinos, fine dining, fishing,
picnicking, horses, photography, or historical places, you will find
both Goldfield and Tonopah to your liking.
DARK
SKIES
Are you into
astronomy? Tonopah skies are among the darkest in the nation, making it
a premier location for stargazing. The well known
Area 51 (UFO Conspiracy site) is
only 70 miles from Tonopah.
Clean air, almost
no traffic, and a slower peaceful way of life are our trademarks. About
three hours to Las Vegas from Tonopah and two and one half hours from
Goldfield, you will experience the quiet life with, low crime rate,
clean air, no traffic, amiable weather, and beautiful sunsets.
Are you on a fixed
income? Stretch
your dollars
by renting a
spacious apartment from only $295 per month. Tonopah and Goldfield are
small enough to be friendly, but big enough to be comfortable.
Affordable
You will be amazed
at our low cost of rent. You
can live here for about 1/3 to
1/2 the cost of Las Vegas and other areas.
