Where are the most desolate places in the lower 48?
I am looking for places in the lower 48 states that are the most desolate. Ones you go to when you want to get away from people.
A place where you might only see one other car drive down the highway every 30 minutes. An area with minimal paved roads and mostly gravel ones. A place that's at least 200 miles from the nearest McDonald's or other chains. A place with minimal cell phone service. A place where if you get into an emergency, you have to be a man and toughen it out. You can't rely on first responders to bail you out. What places come to mind? |

Oklahoma panhandle is pretty desolate. So is Texas Panhandle.

![]() The backroads between Route 50 and Las Vegas is the most desolate place I've ever been. Even the Lunar Crater park was spooky because I was the only one there. Look out for speed traps if you go. The cops are total dicks. The Salton Sea area in California is cool too. Last edited by suzzer99; 07-07-2024 at 11:53 AM.. |

Roads are a hobby of mine and I have read about Route 50.

We came up on a guy who ran out of gas about an hour and a half west of Ely once. I offered him a ride but he had a box trailer and didn’t want to leave it so he asked us to call the highway patrol when we got service. We were almost to Ely before we had service. Not a good place for car trouble.
