At Lund Junction in White Pine, westbound U.S. 6 meets Nevada 318. From here, U.S. 6 continues southwest toward Currant Summit (elevation 6,999 feet above sea level), Currant, and Warm Springs in Nye County. Nevada 318 travels south from here to Lund, Sunnyvale, and Hiko before ending at U.S. 93/Great Basin Highway near Ash Springs. Photo taken by Jose Gutierrez (08/15/07).
U.S. 6 west and U.S. 95 north
U.S. 6 west
Westbound U.S. 6 leaves the U.S. 95 junction at Coaldale Junction. In the distance, the tall mountain with clouds around the top is Boundary Peak. U.S. 6 travels over the Montgomery Pass to the north of Boundary Peak. Photo taken 1/20/02.
A major intersection on U.S. 6 is with Nevada 360, which travels north from Basalt to U.S. 95 south of Mina. This highway is especially useful for travelers connecting from eastbound U.S. 6 to northbound U.S. 95 and vice-versa. Photo taken 1/20/02.
Another green guide sign advises of the continuation of U.S. 6 west to California and the right turn to Nevada 360 north to Mina. Photo taken 1/20/02.
This U.S. 6 west reassurance shield is posted after Junction Nevada 360. Photos taken 1/20/02.
Continuing west, U.S. 6 crosses the Esmeralda-Mineral County Line. Note the postmile equation, since they reset at the county line. Photo taken 1/20/02.
This view shows U.S. 6 west after the intersection with Nevada 264. Photo taken 1/20/02.
Westbound U.S. 6 enters Inyo National Forest as it heads up toward Montgomery Pass. Photo taken 1/20/02.
U.S. 6 then descends Montgomery Pass, with massive Boundary Peak visible to the south of the federal highway. Boundary Peak rises 13,140 feet above sea level and is the highest point in the state of Nevada. Photo taken 1/20/02.
Since the traffic counts over Montgomery Pass are relatively low, U.S. 6 does not require any climbing lanes for trucks. Photo taken 01/20/02.
The Sierra Nevada loom in the distance as U.S. 6 west approaches the California-Nevada State Line. After crossing the state line, U.S. 6 will intersect California 120 at Benton, then turn south to end at U.S. 395 in Bishop. Photo taken 1/20/02.
Soon thereafter, westbound U.S. 6 leaves Nevada and enters California at the state line. A welcome sign for California is posted at this point. Photo taken 1/20/02.
