Illipah is a sparse White Pine County mining locale along US-50 east of Eureka. Scattered foundations and diggings sit in high cold-desert sage country with little on-site interpretation. High-clearance or sturdy passenger cars in dry weather; no services. Watch for open shafts and leave all artifacts in place under ARPA.
