  • Took a drive out to Rhyolite this past week during my stay in Vegas. It was about 115 miles each way, and made for a good day trip (and alternative to feeding my money into the slot machines). Rhyolite is over a hundred years old, and it's an honest-to-God ghost town which makes it both a solemn and exciting experience. Stop at the bottle house first, and grab a pamphlet so you can give yourself a self-guided tour. There's also a guest book you can sign. Restrooms are located further up the road. There are two, and they are porta-potty style, but enclosed in a small building. There were signs warning about rattlesnakes, so be wary when walking around. While you could drive up along the main road and never get out of your car, most people found a place to park and walked around to get the full effect. Amongst the mountain backdrop, are the remains of some of the old town's main business buildings. They have signs posted out front indicating what you are looking at. The buildings are pretty well preserved considering the fact they are over a century old. Also, I was impressed that there was no vandalism! The area is kept pretty clear of trash and there are some backroads that lead to an old house, jail, and a grave site. Photo enthusiasts will find a lot of things to keep them happy. Most of the buildings are behind some kind of fence, or wire, but you can get pretty close and take great pictures. There is definitely a feeling of the past when you're there. It felt a bit sacred to me, to walk through and imagine the people who had lived there and the high hopes they had before they had to leave. Rhyolite is just 4 miles outside of Beatty. If you kept going, you could probably go to Death Valley National Park (I hope to go next time). Also, along the road to Rhyolite you will pass the Goldwell Open Air Museum, which you should definitely check out since it's very cool and somewhat eccentric, and also, right there.
