Dixie Valley is a typical Basin & Range valley east of Fallon, Nevada. Most the valley floor is part of the Fallon Naval Air Station and is closed to the public, but the foothills and mountains surrounding the valley provide many great riding opportunities.

Middlegate is located on US Highway 50, The Loneliest Highway, and is approximately 45 miles east of Fallon. Visitors will enjoy the unique ambiance of this historic stage stop, which includes a bar, restaurant, and mini-mart for snacks and supplies. Overnight camping is available at no charge.
