Carlin is a small town in Elko County in northeast Nevada. It lies about 23 miles west of the city of Elko and sits along Interstate 80 at the bottom of Emigrant Pass. The town is at an elevation 4,900 feet. As of the 2010 census, the population of Carlin was 2,161. The town has the colorful slogan of "Where the Train Stops...and the Gold Rush Begins," which celebrates the two main industries of the town. The Carlin Trend, one of the most productive gold mining areas in the United States, is northwest of the town of Carlin. Due to its location with easy access off Interstate 80, Carlin is a popular stop for food and gas. East of Carlin is the Carlin Canyon Historical Wayside. The wayside marks the significance of the canyon as a travel route for Native Americans, mountain men and emigrants and later the railroad and finally a major highway through the mountains designated as U.S. Route 40. Special events in the town of Carlin include the Sho 'n' Shine Car show each August. Other attractions in the area include Skate Nights, Movies in the Park and Carlin's Chinese Gardens Wildlife Study Area.

Carlin Weather & Climate

Northeast Nevada has a semi arid climate. The principal climatic features are bright sunshine, small annual precipitation, (averaging nine inches in the valleys and deserts) heavy snowfall in the higher mountains, clean, dry air, and exceptionally large daily ranges of temperature. This is due to strong surface heating during the day and rapid nighttime cooling because of the dry air. Even after the hottest days, the nights are usually cool. Summer temperatures are generally in the 90s. Sometimes they soar above 100° F, but more frequently in the south. Humidity is usually very low. Freezes begin early in the autumn and continues until late in the spring. The freeze-free season varies from less than 70 days in the northeast to about 140 days in the west and south-central areas, to over 225 in the south.
