Elko, Nevada ATV Jamboree - June 23 - 28, 2008

Nevada is a unique state with many unique attributes. However, with two spectacular wilderness areas and thousands of square miles of open space, Elko County offers limitless outdoor recreation opportunities. The ATV Jamboree in Elko has a new sponsor for 2008,  ATV  Magazine, 4-Wheelin' Adventure Series as well as the Elko Convention and Visitors Authority.  Visit the Elko Convention and Visitors Authority website to see the Adventure on the Edge brochure under recreation (www.elkocva.com).  The Elko area is high desert country with vast changes in elevation, terrain, habitat and foliage.  Mining and ranching are the dominant industries in Elko County.

The Elko ATV Jamboree is put on by a non-profit organization specifically formed for the jamboree.  The ATV Jamboree Committee consists of volunteers from the Elko community and the local ATV club, (Gold Country ATV Association).

Each year, new trails are added to the Jamboree itinerary and others dropped.  With so many trails to explore here, we will strive to keep bringing new and different rides for our participants. 

Many of our Jamboree activities center around the culture of Elko and Nevada.  We work hard to provide unique experiences to the Jamboree and will always welcome your feedback and suggestions.  We are home to the National Basque Festival, the National Cowboy Poetry Gathering, several snowmobile events and a variety of Pro Rodeos.

Nevada does not require ATV's to be registered and therefore cannot be driven on City streets as you may have done at other Jamborees.  All rides will require transport of your ATV's to a staging site for each trail ride.  We have arranged with a local vendor for the use of ATV trailers for those who will be attending the event with toy haulers.  This will enable those participants to transport their machines to the trailheads without breaking camp everyday.

We will meet at the Elko Convention Center each morning for breakfast, announcements, and finding your trail leader before leaving for the daily rides.  One of our sponsors will provide steam cleaning for your ATV's each day when you return from the trail rides.  There will be no charge for this service but they will accept donations.  There will be a no-host bar and snacks on the patio each evening when you return to the Elko Convention Center.
