Nevada State Route 225

Traveling 100.25 miles wholly within Elko County, Nevada State Route 225 (Mountain City Highway) begins at Business Loop I-80 (SR 535) in the city of Elko. SR 225 proceeds northwest from Interstate 80 at Exit 301 across the Adobe Range and north past Wild Horse Reservoir. Paralleling the winding course of the Owyhee River through Wild Horse Range, SR 225 reaches Mountain City, with minimal services available there, 84 miles north of Elko.  The remainder of the route in the Silver State travels northwest through Duck Valley Indian Reservation to Owyhee and the Idaho state line. Idaho State Highway 51 extends north from SR 225 to eventually meet Interstate 84 and U.S. 20-26-30 in Mountain Home.
