  • If you spend enough time in Death Valley, you can't help but take a side trip to the outskirts of Beatty, Nevada, to see the Rhyolite ghost town. It's certainly one of the most elegant and well-known ruins in the United States and the scene is especially striking when the sun bathes the bleached structures in a warm glow. Look out for the lizards and watch out for the snakes, but don't rush your time here: let your camera lead you in and around the buildings. You probably won't get a sense of what life was like as you walk the main street but these skeletons have their own life in the 21st century and your camera will certainly kiss you in gratitude on the trip home. The story doesn't end at Rhyolite, though. Beatty is just a short ride away and you'll be tempted to stock up on supplies and, maybe, find a slot machine. That's all well and good, but be forewarned: Beatty is a well-known and active speed trap -- as are many other towns in Nevada -- and the rapidly changing succession of speed limit signs will cause your downfall eventually if you don't heed them literally. My introduction to Beatty had the local police stop me for going 26mph in a 25mph zone. (Some folks get stopped for going slower than 25mph.) Your movements are at the whim of the folks in the blue uniforms who are on a mission to top off their municipality's coffers. Nevada has some amazing sights but it still retains a hard edge and a wild west spirit, so don't expect to find welcome mats even though you're just stopping to get gas and a cold Klondike Bar. While Beatty holds on by a few casinos and the act of trapping cars with excuses of motion sickness, I expect the folks in Rhyolite had the integrity and common sense to just abandon the place when they ran out of options. Don't forget now: look out for those lizards, watch out for those snakes, and tread carefully.
