ELKO COUNTY IS THE NUMBER ONE RANCHING COUNTY IN NEVADA
AND THIRD IN THE NATION

Elko, Nevada is a bustling and pleasant community all through the year. Within the area you can hike, bike, fish, boat, ski (cross-country or downhill) heli-ski, snowmobile, rock climb, hit the slots, visit cultural events and more.

Please feel free to visit any of the following links to learn more about Elko and the events and activities that may be taking place during your stay at the 71 Ranch.

We would like to point out that these are not scheduled events at the ranch and may require your making arrangements directly if you wish to attend any while in Nevada.

We would especially like to thank McCall Saddle Company for allowing us to use a sample of their Mountain Floral tooling as a Web-site background and renowned silversmith Mark Dahl for making the engraved silver conchos and belt buckle above using the 71 Ranch brands.
