Barely situated in Nevada along the Idaho & Nevada boarder Jarbidge is arguably one of the most remote little dirt road towns in the lower 48.
55 miles from Wildhorse Reservoir this remote town sits in the second largest wilderness area of Nevada. Jarbidge Wilderness area is over 110,000 acres & is the least accessible wilderness areas in Nevada.
Shoshone Indian Tribe called the this wilderness Tsawhawbitts meaning Cannibal Giants warning pioneers & travelers to avoid this area as they do.
After the discovery of gold this area was settled then named Jarbidge.
No longer producing gold as it once did the small dirt road town of around 100 occupants dwindles to around 30 during winter.
Recreationalists such as fishermen, hunters, hikers, campers & ATV enthusiasts help keep this small town alive with their tourism.
Wild, remote & beautiful.
