Route 447, consisting of County Route 447 (CR 447) and State Route 447 (SR 447) is a highway in the U.S. state of Nevada. The highway is almost entirely within Washoe County but does for a brief time enter Pershing County. The highway connects the town of Gerlach to the remainder of the state via Wadsworth. Though passing through extremely remote and desolate areas of Nevada, the highway has recently gained fame as the primary route to access the Black Rock Desert, the site of the annual Burning Man festival.
A 4.5-mile (7.2 km) portion of this highway, along with portions of SR 445 and SR 446, has been designated the Pyramid Lake Scenic Byway.
