| Description |
State Route 431 or the Mount Rose Highway is a 24.4 mile (39.3 km) two lane highway in Washoe County, Nevada that connects Incline Village-Crystal Bay at Lake Tahoe with Reno. The highway takes its name from Mount Rose which lies just off the highway. The entire length of the highway has been designated the Mount Rose Scenic Byway by the Nevada Scenic Byways program. Prior to 1978, the highway existed as State Route 27. The highway begins along the northeast shore of Lake Tahoe in the city of Incline Village. The highway scales the Sierra Nevada until reaching a meadow that is used as an access for the Mount Rose Wilderness. Along the western ascent is a view area with directional markers pointing to several notable peaks in the Sierra Nevada range that surround Lake Tahoe. The highway crests the Sierra at Mount Rose Summit. The Nevada Department of Transportation has claimed in several places this is the highest summit open year round in the Sierra Nevada mountain range (8,911 feet (2,716 m)). Both the east and west approach to the summit feature hairpin curves. On the eastern approach to the summit, the highway passes by the Mount Rose Ski Area and features overlooks with views of both Reno and Washoe Valley. After several serpentine bends the highway arrives at an area of Reno called Galena. In Galena the highway has a junction with the current end of the future Interstate 580 freeway, although the interstate is currently unsigned. Just past this it terminates at a junction with US 395 (hidden SR 430) and SR 341, which continues towards Virginia City. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nevada_State_Route_431 |
