June 9th. Battle Mountain to Elko. NV.

Elevation 5,0060 ft. 72.1 miles.

We started the day with a huge climb ( 12 miles) of 6% grade to Emigrant Pass. What a way to start off the day! We got off I-80 and took the Exit 280 SR766 to the town of Carlin,NV. Took photos of Emigrant Pass (6114 ft.) and of Carlin Canyon which culminates with three tunnels.


It was a climb to Emigrant Pass



A nice little view.. Notice the snow on the mountains in the background.
