Our Community

Tonopah is located about halfway between Reno and Las Vegas at an elevation of 6,047 ft.

Tonopah is a perfect place to stay while enjoying central Nevada’s recreational activities including rock hunting, hiking, bird watching, wildlife viewing, mountain biking, off-roading &  hunting.

Because it’s so far from the bright lights of any major city, Tonopah’s night skies are considered among the best in the country for stargazing. Tour our Historic Mining Park & visit the Central Nevada Museum.

Go off-roading or visit nearby ghost towns. Shop in unique stores, discover local artists & even pan for gold during Jim Butler Days!
