Wells is a small northeastern Nevada town on Interstate 80, about 50 miles east of Elko and 350 miles from Reno. It sits at the intersection of I-80 and US Highway 93, making it a natural stop for cross-country travelers and those heading north to Idaho or south toward Ely. The high desert setting at 5,600 feet brings hot summers and snowy winters. The Trail of the 49ers Interpretive Center showcases California Gold Rush history from emigrants who passed through this exact spot.
