TRAVEL INFORMATION
It's not the destination, it's the journey.
At Burning Man, it's the
destination and the journey. We know you're eager to get to the
event, but there are some fantasic roadside attractions
and good meals along the way. For your entertainment and
edification we have included a guide to the hot spots of Reno as
well as
some inside info on our host community, Gerlach as well as the
wild horse community in the Calico Mountains just north
of Gerlach.
There's also
a botanical guide to the Eastern slope
of the Sierras.
For help getting to Black Rock City, veteran burners have outlined
road routes from Canada, Los
Angeles, parts
of Nevada,
New York City,
the Pacific
Northwest and the biggest little nearby city, Reno.
Ride-sharing can be an excellent way for first-timers to create
instant connections with others in our community. For those
who are car-less or don't want to drive alone, there
are several resources available - check out the Burning
Man Ride Share for rides wanted/offered from a variety of domestic
and international starting points. Our Gerlach/Empire
shuttle partner, the Green
Tortoise, also offers bus trips from SF and Portland/Eugene to Black
Rock City - and they take bikes!
Travel safe — and
see you on the playa!
