Understand
Austin is an unincorporated town in Lander County, Nevada. In 2010, the census-designated place of Austin had a population of 192. It is on the western slopes of the Toiyabe Range at an elevation of 6,605 feet (2,013 m). U.S. Route 50 passes through the town; this section of Route 50 is considered to be the "Loneliest Road in America".

Get in
U.S. Route 50 is the main road that goes through the town, and it connects Carson City and Fallon with Ely. However, the U.S. Route 50 is known for being the loneliest road and the drive from any major city to Austin is several hundred miles of mountainous terrain.

Get around
Most of the restaurants and other services are along the Main Street, which is also U.S. Route 50.

Buy
There are no shopping malls in Austin, so any stores are individual shops along the Main Street.

Eat and drink
There are a couple places to eat and drink in Austin, but for more choice of restaurants you will have to go to Fallon or Ely.
