Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest — Sacramento Pass Dispersed Camp

Sacramento Pass sits at roughly 7,154 ft where US-50 crosses the Snake Range divide. BLM and Humboldt-Toiyabe national forest land flanks the highway here, and overlanders have been pulling off into the sagebrush flats on both sides of the road for decades. It’s wide open, exposed to wind, and has zero facilities — but zero crowds most nights too. Good staging point for Bunker Hill Road approaches from the north side of the range, and a legitimate overnight if you’re running the loneliest highway in America.

Pull-offs are obvious and well-worn. Any vehicle can access the flat sites directly off US-50; rougher two-tracks push further into the hills for more solitude. No water anywhere near here — 30+ miles to Baker or Ely for resupply. Cell service is essentially zero. Wind can be brutal at this elevation; stake everything down.

Loneliest highway, emptiest campsite.
