Located in southeastern Nevada, the quiet town of Caliente is the only incorporated community in Lincoln County. Shaded by beautiful cottonwood trees, the residential area has a friendly hometown feel.
In a land that seems rife with
whiskey-laced stories of the
rough and wayward, Caliente
presents a more pastoral
impression. The town of 1100 is ringed
by streams and fields that stretch
toward wrinkled hills and mountains
that beckon outdoor enthusiasts. In
fact, Caliente is surrounded by 14 new
wilderness areas and is hub to the
Silver State ATV Trail. Quaint motels
and restaurants line the city’s main
streets while its mission-style railroad
depot, built in 1923, stands apart as
centerpiece of the community. The
depot is a great place for a slow stroll
to study the colorful mural depicting
moments in southern Nevada’s history ranging from 1864 to 1914.
