U.S. Route 50 (US 50) is a transcontinental highway in the United States, stretching from West Sacramento, California, in the west to Ocean City, Maryland, on the east coast. The Nevada portion crosses the center of the state and was named "The Loneliest Road in America" by Life magazine in July 1986. The name was intended as a pejorative, but Nevada officials seized it as a marketing slogan. The name originates from large desolate areas traversed by the route, with few or no signs of civilization. The highway crosses several large desert valleys separated by numerous mountain ranges towering over the valley floors, in what is known as the Basin and Range province of the Great Basin.
Mount Moriah is a 12,072-foot (3,680 m) mountain in the northern Snake Range of eastern White Pine County, Nevada, United States.

The range is sometimes referred to as the Deep Creek Mountains, or the Ibenpah Mountains. The South Mountains are divided from the Kern Mountains to the south by Tippett Canyon on the west and Pleasant Valley to the east. They are divided from the Deep Creek Range to the east in Utah by Johnson Canyon, on the north, and by Water Canyon on the south. The range is bounded on the north by Spring Creek Flat and on the west by Antelope Valley.
