Gerlach

Gerlach

Gerlach sits at the edge of the Black Rock Desert, surrounded by mountains and scrub land. It's a true western outpost community with five bars, a gas station, a motel, a restaurant, and no church.

About this place:

Gerlach-Empire is located in Washoe County, Nevada, United States. The combined population was 499 at the 2000 census. Most of the population live in the two tiny settlements of Gerlach and Empire; the rest live on outlying rural ranching properties.

The annual Burning Man festival takes place twelve miles north of Gerlach, on the Black Rock Desert playa.

Access to the community is from Nevada State Highway 447, Nevada State Highway 34 and Nevada State Route 48.
