Elko Area Insider TipsThe Inside Scoop from Seasoned I-80 Travelers.
Altitude & dryness: Elko sits over 5,000 feet, and the air is very dry—drink more water than you think you need, especially if you’re driving long hours. If you’re sensitive to altitude, don’t overdo caffeine and take breaks to walk and breathe deeply.
Weather & road conditions: Winds and sudden squalls can be nasty, especially in winter and early spring—check NDOT road conditions before committing to long stretches between towns. In shoulder seasons, black ice can linger in shaded spots even when the sun’s out.
Fuel strategy: Top off in Elko if you’re heading toward the more remote stretches of I‑80 (especially east toward Wells or west past Carlin), since services thin out quickly. Don’t assume every marked exit has a 24‑hour gas station.
Food timing & Basque spots: Elko’s best-known Basque restaurants (like The Star or Toki Ona) can get busy at dinner; if you want a family-style Basque meal, aim for early evening and be ready for generous portions. For quick eats at odd hours, truck-stop diners near the I‑80 exits are more reliable than downtown.
