Mountain City is a small unincorporated community in Elko County, Nevada, United States, within the Mountain City Ranger District of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. This ghost town[1] on State Route 225, approximately 16 miles (26 km) south of the Idaho border, it is situated on the Owyhee River at an elevation of approximately 5,620 feet (1,710 m).

Because of its proximity to Owyhee, Mountain City unofficially observes Mountain Time, even though they are both legally in the Pacific Time Zone.[2][3]
