Nevada State Route 264

Nevada State Route 264 extends 33.6 miles north from the end of California State Route 266 in Fish Lake Valley to U.S. 6 in Esmeralda County. Traveling through a mix of open desert and agriculural areas, SR 264 takes a fairly linear route north from Mono County, California to the unincorporated town of Dyer. Beyond the lone population center on SR 264, the highway turns north, paralleling the eastern foothills of the White Mountains.

Heading out of Fish Lake Valley, SR 264 meets SR 773, which branches 10.5 miles northeast to connect with U.S. 6 east to Coaldale and U.S. 95. SR 264 angles northwest across the Volcanic Hills to connect with U.S. 6 a mile and a half east of the Mineral County line.

SR 264 proceeds north through Fish Lake Valley toward the Volcanic Hills. The only town in the valley is Dyer, which is billed as a tourist destination and gateway to Yosemite National Park. An older billboard along SR 264 advertised the notion of Dyer as a gateway. However, there is no true direct route from there to Yosemite.
