Visiting Rhyolite, Nevada: Death Valley’s must-see ghost town

Planning a Death Valley road trip? Add Rhyolite—an authentic Nevada ghost town with 1904 gold-rush roots, crumbling bank walls, Tom Kelly’s Bottle House, and the outdoor Goldwell Open Air Museum. It’s 35 miles from Furnace Creek and 9 miles from Beatty; there are no services, so bring water, layers, lights, and fuel. Stay after dark for stellar night skies.
