The sounds of the steam engine and clickity-clack of the Pony Express riders bring the memories of the Old West to life while visiting the historic landmark, the Ruby Valley Pony Express Station in rustic Elko, Nevada. From the times of being a rough and rowdy crowd of mining, gaming and livestock settlers in the late 1860’s, these central economic streams still remain the backbone of Elko today. Elko has established a quality of life for all ages to raise families or retire in the peaceful high-desert sunshine. Living in rural Nevada provides a retreat from busy freeways and congestion in urban areas while still offering access to quality healthcare, dining and outdoor sporting activities in the famous Ruby Mountains. Mountain Shadows Apartments is a shining example of affordable, safe and attractive housing.
