Located on the Nevada-Utah border, the Wendover area has been a welcome sight for weary travelers for over a century, symbolizing the end of the Great Salt Desert. Wendover is 120 miles west of Salt Lake City, 404 miles east of Reno/Sparks and 400 miles north of Las Vegas.

The community is well known for its role during World War II. Crews trained for the historic atomic bombing missions over Hiroshima and Nagasaki at the Wendover Field, now a fully equipped commercial airport.

Elementary schools, junior high schools, high schools, and extension offices for both Great Basin College and Utah State University enhance community education.

Multipurpose sporting facilities, an equestrian park, 18-hole championship golf course, a swimming pool and many hiking, mountain biking and ATV trails provide excellent opportunities for outdoor recreation.
